Abstract

Magnetoresistance measurements (Δ/R) were carried out on CuxCo1‐xFe2O4 samples with x=1, 0.75, 0.50, 0.25 and cobalt ferrite in the range of magnetic intensity (H) from 1.0 to 4.5 kG. Linear plots were obtained between log (Δ/R) and log H for all compositions except that of cobalt ferrite. The values of n at x=0.5 do not agree with the results of some authors. The discrepancy may be attributed to the value of magnetic field intensity at which such measurements were carried out. The similarity of features of n and μD with composition leads us to believe that the magnetoresistance may arise from the scattering of conduction electrons by localized electrons involving the s‐d exchange interaction.
