Abstract:

Single-phase manganite La0.4Ca0.6Mn0.98Ru0.02O3 shows a typical electronic phase separated state, i.e. the ferromagnetic metal and charge-ordered insulating phase. This provides an ideal platform for investigating electroresistance effect. The sample was synthesized by using standard solid state reaction method, and the pure phase was demonstrated using X-ray diffraction. The colossal electroresistance were measured at various input current intensities. The experiments reveal remarkable electroresistance effect (~80%) which can be triggered by increasing the current intensity. In addition, the resistance state of the sample can be switched immediately and repeatedly by switching the current intensity. The current stabilized ferromagnetic phase would be responsible for these phenomena.

Key words: manganite, electroresistance, electric transport
