description

Abstract The giant negative magnetoresistance in manganites has been investigated from the Curie temperature T c up to 600 K (2.6 T c ) in magnetic fields up to 8 T. Nonadiabatic small polaron hopping can successfully describe the temperature dependence of the resistivity. The magnetic field influence on the activation energy is explained by the interaction of unclustered ions with small spin clusters of four ions.
