Abstract
The influence of temperature (in the range of 2-390 K) on the magnetic moment, and magnetoresistance has been investigated in this paper. It is found that the magnetoelectric properties, particularly the Curie temperature TC, the metal-insulator transition temperature, Tmi, and the maximum magnetoresistance TMR, of La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 are closely related to the valence of Mn in the oxides. La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 synthesized with 2+ Mn oxides exhibited the lower resistivity, and a Curie temperature closer to room temperature (290K) compared with that synthesized with 3+ Mn oxides. It can be concluded that the magnetoelectric properties of La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 are dependent on the Mn valence of oxides. This could be attributed to the influence of oxygen vacancy concentration variation on the Mn4+/Mn3+ ratio in the resultant compounds during solid sintering reaction, which results from the valence difference of oxide precursors.
