Abstract
Electrical transport properties as a function of magnetic field and time have been investigated in polycrystalline, Nd_{0.84}Sr_{0.16}CoO_3. A strong exchange bias (EB) effect is observed associated with the fairly large intragranular magnetoresistance (MR). The EB effect observed in the MR curve is compared with the EB effect manifested in magnetic hysteresis loop. Training effect, described as the decrease of EB effect when the sample is successively field-cycled at a particular temperature, has been observed in the shift of the MR curve. Training effect could be analysed by the successful models. The EB effect, MR and a considerable time dependence in MR are attributed to the intrinsic nanostructure giving rise to the varieties of magnetic interfaces in the grain interior.
