Popis: The influence of dc biasing current on temperature dependence of resistance of La 0.67 Ba 0.33 MnO 3 bulk sample is reported. A decrease in the resistance (electroresistance) on the application of higher bias current is observed. The electroresistance is maximum at metal–insulator transition temperature ( T MI ) and decreases when the temperature is either increased or decreased from T MI . A two-phase model is proposed to explain the occurrence of electroresistance. The higher bias current leads to an increase in alignment of spins and thus, in turn, leads to an increase in spin stiffness coefficient and decrease in the resistance at T MI .
