ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjb/e2005-00371-4 | Abstract: | Nano-constriction array in La0.67Sr0.33MnO 3 film was fabricated by using ion beam etching masked by a monolayer of packed and ordered array of SiO2 microspheres. Nano-constrictions of around 50 nm in width were fabricated. The low field magnetoresistance (LFMR) exhibited in the samples were observed to be current dependent and the I-V characteristics of the film were found to be nonlinear. These observations were attributed to the co-existence of the ferromagnetic regions and the nano-constricted region of weakened ferromagnetic coupling where Mn 3+-O-Mn4+ bond were distorted due to the ion beam bombardment. The spin polarized bias current would strengthen local ferromagnetic coupling when passing through this nano-constricted regions. This current effect is relatively large comparing to the external magnetic field to the drop of resistance. | Source Title: | European Physical Journal B | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/97142 | ISSN: | 14346028 | DOI: | 10.1140/epjb/e2005-00371-4 |
