Abstract
We report the tuning from spin one channel (1CK) to orbital two-channel Kondo (2CK) effect by varying CoFe2O4 (CFO) content in the composites with LaNiO3 (LNO) along with the presence of ferrimagnetism. Although there is no signature of resistivity upturn in case of pure LNO, all the composites exhibit a distinct upturn in the temperature range 30-80 K. For composite with lower percentage of CFO (10 %), the electron spin plays the key role in the emergence of resistivity upturn which is affected by external magnetic field. On the other hand, when the CFO content is increased (15%), the upturn shows strong robustness against high magnetic field (14 T) and a crossover in temperature variation from lnT to T^1/2 at the Kondo temperature, indicating the appearance of orbital 2CK effect. The orbital 2CK effect is originated due to the scattering of conduction electrons from the structural two-level systems which is created at the interfaces between the two phases (LNO and CFO) of different crystal structures as well as inside the crystal planes. A negative magnetoresistance (MR) is observed at low temperature (< 30 K) for composites containing both lower (10 %) and higher percentage (15 %) of CFO. We have analyzed the negative MR using Khosla and Fisher semi-empirical model based on spin dependent scattering of conduction electrons from localized spins.
