Colossal Magnetoresistance (CMR)
introduction
There are 2 types of CMR.
1. On applied external magnetic field forsample, electrical resistance noticeably
increase .
2. On applied external magnetic field forsample and doped hole, electricalresistance noticeably decrease andphase change from paramagnetic toferromagnetic.
At hard disk, Fringing field( ) is very low, sodisk head must bemagnetic-field-sensitive.
At this paper, theyfocus on this CMR.

LaMnO 3
introduction
Crystal structurePerovskite structure
electron state
3d 4 (Mn 3+)
energy state of 3d electron of Mn 3+
t2g electrons can be viewed aslocalized spins with S=3/2.
e g electrons are strongly hybridizedwith the oxygen 2p states, so e g electrons are conduction electron .

LaMnO 3
introduction
Mott Insulator Spins are alternately up anddown. When coulomb repulsion for two electronsin a Mn is large, Electrons cannot move freely.
LaMnO 3 is Mott insulator.
Antiferromagnetic insulator
Carriers are doped in e g orbital.
Substitute divalent (2 ) cation (Sr 2+ , Ca 2+ etc.)for trivalent (3 ) cation (La 3+)Electrical conduction is provided.
For example, La 1-xSr xMnO 3
doped cation Mn3+ and Mn 4+ are presentby doping cation.

La 1-xSr xMnO 3
introduction
Spins are paralleled indifferent orbital by Hundsrule.
(a) t 2g electrons (localized spins) are paralleled :
Double-exchange interaction
e g electron can transfer to Mn 4+ , becauseenergy is not changed if any e g electron isexist which site.
(b) t 2g electrons (localized spins) are antiparalleled : e g electron cannot transfer to Mn 4+ , becauseto transfer results in a loss of energy ofHunds rule.
Paralleled t 2g electrons workferroma netic interaction.This is double-exchange
interaction.

Result Fe 0.29 Mn0.71 S
Temperature curves for themagnetoresistance dH of Fe 0.29 Mn0.71 Sat 10, 30, and 50 kOe.
At 30 kOe, the negativemagnetoresistance dH reaches -450 % at ~50 K.
At 50 kOe, this value is -87 %.
Its found that Fe xMn1-xS have a colossal magnetoresistance .

Result Cr 0.5 Mn0.5 S
Temperature curves for the magnetization(a) and magnetoresistance (b) ofCr 0.5 Mn0.5 S at 30 kOe.
This sulfide undergoes the antiferromagnet-ferromagnet transition at 66K.
At 30 kOe, the negative
magnetoresistance dH reaches -25 % at ~4.2 K.
The transition to the negativemagnetoresistance occurs in the range ofmagnetic transition.
Its same behavior of La 1-x Sr xMnO 3
Its found that Cr xMn1-xS have a colossal magnetoresistance .
The nature is caused by Jahn-Teller effect.

Discussion
Electrical and magnetic properties of Me xMn1-xS aresimilar to those observed for La 1-xSr xMnO 3.
analogous point
the cubic lattice is distorted in the range of appeared CMR.
LaMnO 3 and MnS (not doping) are Mott insulator.
AF semiconductor-FM metal are produced in cation-substituted
LaMnO 3 ( or MnS).
But, the mechanism of CMR effect still remains to be clarified.
The regions of antiferromagnetic semiconductor and ferromagnetic metal coexist.(by Mssbauer data)

Summary
Colossal magnetoresistance is observed innon-perovskite Me xMn1-xS (Me = Fe, Cr).
This Me xMn1-xS sample has little data. So,this sample must be given results and shouldbe understood the magnetism mechanisms.

My study Me xMn1-xS
The less interspace of octahedral structure, the moreincrease electron transfer. Me xMn1-xS (Me = Fe, Cr) mayappear metallic state. One way is ion substitution .
Otherway ?
apply hydrostatic pressure
For Fe xMn1-xS, x = 0.29 is critical concentration of metal transition.
FexMn
1-xS which its concentration is no more than x = 0.29 apply hydrostatic
pressure, the sample appear metallic state.
I anticipate that CMR will be observed inMe xMn1-xS (Me = Fe, Cr) by pressure.
