Abstract
The magnetic and conductive properties of polycrystalline La0.5Pb0.5MnO3 containing ~13at.% of a
second phase PB3Mn6O13. were investigated. The studies reported include measurements of magnetization, electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance, in a temperature range 10 ÷ 400 K and at applied magnetic fields up to 5 Tesla. It was found that the sample exhibits a ferromagnetic ordering with relatively low coercive field at room temperature. Measurements of field-cooled and reversed-field-cooled magnetization support models of coexisting magnetic phases in ferromagnetic La-based manganites. The resistivity measured eshibits a maximum at ~ 230 K and a broad shallow minimum at ~ 20+25 K. These features are also attnbuted to the temperature dependence of the magnctic inhomogeneities. Measurcments of magnetoresistance show a characteristic giant effect at low temperatures.
