Abstract
We have studied crystal structures and the giant magnetoresistance of fluoride Nd0.67Sr0.33MnO3 compounds. The experimental results show that the CaF2 dopant can stabilize the original crystal structure of Nd0.67Sr0.33MnO3 compounds. The lattice spacings and unit cell volumes of these fluoride compounds decrease with CaF2 doping. The Rietveld profile fitting technique has been used to refine the crystal structures of these compounds. The space group of those compounds is Pbnm, Z=4. The F anion prefers to occupy the 8d crystal position. All of these fluoride compounds are ferromagnetic; their Curie temperatures decrease with CaF2 doping. However, the giant magnetoresistance ratio of these fluoride compounds increases. A magnetoresistance ratio as high as 99.2% is obtained at an applied field of 5 T.
