We report on the observation of enhanced low-field magnetoresistance in La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/Pr2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (LCMO/PCMO) superlattices with ultrathin PCMO layers. In particular, [LCMO(100 Å)/PCMO(10 Å)]17 superlattice exhibits magnetoresistance MR=Δρ/ρ0=−55% in a magnetic field of 500 Oe and at temperature 219 K. The enhancement is associated with the ultrasharp metal–insulator transition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
