Abstract

Resistance as a function of temperature showed that the metal–insulator transition temperatures of as-grown and annealed Ag-doped La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 thin films were 235 and 300 K, respectively, and that the metal–insulator transition ranges of these films were relatively narrow, indicative of a sharp phase transition. The temperature coefficient of resistance was as high as 8% at 276 K. The magnetoresistance ratio of the annealed Ag-doped film under a magnetic field of 5 T was approximately 55% at 285 K.
