Magneto-transport measurements have been performed on La 0.67 Sr 0.33 Mn 1− x Fe x O 3 ( x = 0.0, 0.05 and 0.07) manganites synthesized by solid state route. The overall nature of AC susceptibility is found to be frequency independent. With the substitution of Mn by Fe, the transport properties dramatically change suppressing the double-exchange interaction. This in turn weakens the ferromagnetism and consequently decreases the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition temperature ( T c ). However, DC electrical resistivity of the samples show board hump at metal–insulator transition temperature ( T MI ) in contrary with sharp transition at T c and T MI T c indicating decoupling of electrical and magnetic properties. Resistivity behavior of these samples can be well explained by the consideration of bond percolation model which is basically developed from effective approximation method. |
