Abstract
The electronic conduction through a Pr 0.7Ca 0.3MnO 3 thin film is investigated by measurements using dc and pulsed bias. Pr 0.7Ca 0.3MnO 3 films sandwiched by electrodes exhibit two stable resistance states by means of applying voltage pulses. Both of the states show semiconducting behavior. The ratio of the two resistance states induces a colossal electro-resistance (CER) effect greater than 1000%. The CER behavior is seen in the temperature range of 300 K down to 150 K. The observed conduction characteristics exhibit the space-charge-limited-current effect, and the switching behavior can be ascribed to a carrier trapping/detrapping of the trap sites in the perovskite manganite.
