Popis: We report the preparation and investigation of ferromagnetic La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) thin films with orthogonally (along (110) and (1 (1) over bar0)) distributed nanometer-scale cracks. When the density of cracks reaches similar to10(4) cm(-1), the magnetoresistance MR = (R-H - R-0)/R-0 > - 30% was observed in the magnetic fields less than or equal to200 Oe and temperature range from 5 to > 300 K. The discussion about such unique feature will be done based on the spin-polarized electron tunneling and spin scattering, (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
