Abstract

Polycrystalline La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) films were prepared on SiO2/Si (001) substrates by chemical solution deposition technique. Electrical and magnetic properties of LSMO were investigated. A minimum phenomenon in resistivity is found at the low temperature (<50 K) under magnetic fields from 0 T to 3 T. Kondo-like spin dependent scattering, which includes both spin polarization and grain boundary tunneling, was observed in the low-temperature electrical transport for the LSMO polycrystalline films. The temperature-dependent resistivity at low temperatures can be well fitted in the framework of elastic scattering, electron–electron (e–e) interaction, Kondo-like spin dependent scattering, and electron–phonon (e–ph) interaction.
