Magnetoresistive study of antiferromagnetic--weak ferromagnetic transition in single-crystal LaCuO
arXiv:cond-mat/0312409 · doi:10.1063/1.1739162
Abstract
The resistive measurements were made to study the magnetic field-induced antiferromagnetic (AF) - weak ferromagnetic (WF) transition in LaCuO single-crystal. The magnetic field (DC or pulsed) was applied normally to the CuO layers. The transition manifested itself in a drastic decrease of the resistance in critical fields of ~5-7 T. The study is the first to display the effect of the AF -WF transition on the conductivity of the LaCuO single-crystal in the parallel - to - CuO layers direction. The results provide support for the 3-dimensional nature of the hopping conduction of this layered oxide.
