Abstract
In our present study, we address in detail magnetic and magneto-transport properties of well known half metallic La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) and charge order suppressed ferromagnetic La0.48Ca0.52MnO3 (LCMO) nanoparticles. The average particle size for LSMO and LCMO is ∼20 nm and ∼25 nm, respectively. With respect to their magnetic properties, both compounds exhibit ferromagnetic behavior, whereas they markedly differ in their magneto-transport characteristics. The magnetoresistive properties of LSMO nanoparticles indicate low field magnetoresistance and tendency for saturation at higher field values. In addition to the sharp low field magnetoresistance, we have achieved significantly large magnetoresistance at higher values of external magnetic field for the ferromagnetic LCMO nanoparticles. To address such anomalous behavior in these two different classes of ferromagnetic materials, we introduce the re-entrant core-shell type structure formation in charge ordered nanoparticles (LCMO) when charge ordering is completely suppressed.
