摘要:

我们提出的证据表明,直接电子隧穿的本征绝缘区在亚微米宽的桥相分离的铁磁体(La,Pr,Ca)MnO $_3$。当冷却到居里温度以下时,主要的铁磁过冷状态持续存在,其中穿过本征隧道势垒(ITB)的隧穿导致在大的温度范围内的亚稳态、温度无关的高电阻平台。当施加磁场时,我们的数据显示,ITB被熄灭,导致急剧的、巨大的、低场电阻下降。我们的结果比较好的磁畴壁符合本征绝缘相的理论预测。

英文摘要:

We present evidence of direct electron tunneling across intrinsic insulating regions in sub-micrometer wide bridges of the phase separated ferromagnet (La,Pr,Ca)MnO$_3$. Upon cooling below the Curie temperature, a predominantly ferromagnetic supercooled state persists where tunneling across the intrinsic tunnel barriers (ITBs) results in metastable, temperature-independent, high-resistance plateaus over a large range of temperatures. Upon application of a magnetic field, our data reveal that the ITBs are extinguished resulting in sharp, colossal, low-field resistance drops. Our results compare well to theoretical predictions of magnetic domain walls coinciding with the intrinsic insulating phase.
