Abstract
We report, for the first time, experiments of persistent photoconductivity (PPC) in thin films of manganese perovskites La 0.7 Ca 0.25 Ba 0.05 MnO 3 and La 0.7 Ca 0.2 Ba 0.1 MnO 3 showing a persistent decrease of a few percent of the resistance after illumination with visible light. These persistent photoinduced effects are seen only in a range of low temperatures (<25 K) well below the insulator-metal transition at respectively T c=173 K and T c=120 K. In this low temperature range, the transport mechanism is rather of activated hopping type regime.
