Abstract:
Magnetoresistive properties of ceramic composites based on ferromagnet La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ and oxides of nickel and titanium with different ratios of components were studied. Two methods were used to prepare the composites: calcination of La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ compositions mixed with dispersed titanium and nickel powders, and La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ mixed with oxides of these metals at a temperature of 1150$^\circ$C. For the compositions 98% La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$/2%TiO$_2$ and 88% La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$/12%NiO (%mass) the negative magnetoresistivity reaches 7.5% in a constant magnetic field of 15 kOe at room temperature.
