Electrical and magnetic properties of LSMO were investigated. The LSMO/BTO layer of this structure has no in-plane alignment. Even though a ferromagnetic transition temperature, Tc, is as high as that of the epitaxial LSMO film (360 K), a resistivity peak temperature, TP, is about 140 K lower than Tc, The resistivity behavior as a function of temperature for LSMO/BTO/SiO2/Si films is found to be dominated by grain boundary effects. Low field sensitive magnetoresistance which suggests spin tunneling through the grain boundaries is also observed at room temperature. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
