Non-linear electrical response in a non-charge-ordered manganite: Pr0.8Ca0.2MnO3

Abstract

Up to now, electric field induced non-linear conduction in the Pr(1-x)CaxMnO3 system has been ascribed to a current-induced destabilization of the charge ordered phase. However, for x<0.25, a ferromagnetic insulator state is observed and charge-ordering is absent whatever the temperature. A systematic investigation of the non-linear transport in the ferromagnetic insulator Pr0.8Ca0.2MnO3 shows rather similar results to those obtained in charge ordered systems. However, the experimental features observed in Pr0.8Ca0.2MnO3 are distinct in that the collapse of the CO energy gap can not be invoked as usually done in the other members of the PCMO system. We propose interpretations in which the effectiveness of the DE is restored upon application of electric field.
