Magnetic ordering and charge transport in electron-doped La1-yCeyMnO3 (0.1 <= y <= 0.3) films

The microstructure and the magnetic and transport properties of as-deposited La1-yCeyMnO3 (0.1 antiferromagnetic transition at T-N <= 80 K. At the same time, the investigation reveals that the magnetic and transport properties of the electron-doped La1-yCeyMnO3 films, driven by cation doping, are similar to those for the hole-doped La/Ca manganites. Therefore, one can conclude that there is no fundamental difference between the mechanisms of spin ordering and charge transport in the hole-doped and electron-doped manganites.This work was supported by the KOSEF through the Quantum Photonic Science Research Center, Korea.
