Abstract
Electrical and magnetic properties of have been extensively investigated at low temperature down to 1.8 K. The irreversibility of magnetic susceptibility between zero field cooling and field cooling increases with increasing Y content. The metal-insulator transition temperature shifts towards lower temperature and the peak resistivity and magnetoresistance increase with the increase of x. Electrical conduction above is dominated by the variable range hopping mechanism. The increase in resistivity at low temperature has been interpreted in terms of electron-electron interaction. The enhancement of magnetoresistance with the increase of Y content is due to the reduction in Mn-O-Mn bond angle and the mobility of charge carriers.
