description

Abstract By laser ablation we prepared thin films of the colossal magnetoresistive compound La1−xCaxMnO3 with doping levels 0.1 10 13 Ω have been measured with an electrometer setup. While the transport data indicate polaronic transport for the metallic samples above the Curie temperature the low-doped ferromagnetic insulating samples show a variable range hopping like transport at low-temperature.
