The microstructure, magnetic and electrical transport properties of La<sub>0.67</sub>Sr<sub>0.33</sub>MnO<sub>3</sub>/Nd<sub>0.67</sub>Sr<sub>0.33</sub>MnO<sub>3</sub> composites are studied as a function of sintering temperature. At 900 °C, the intergrain exchange couplings between the adjacent particles give rise to an increase in resistance. Raising the sintering temperature induces the formation of an interfacial phase near the La<sub>0.67</sub>Sr<sub>0.33</sub>MnO<sub>3</sub> and Nd<sub>0.67</sub>Sr<sub>0.33</sub>MnO<sub>3</sub> grain boundaries as indicated in the XRD pattern and SEM image. At 1100 °C, the formation of interfacial phases near the grain boundaries enhances the conductivity in the composite. Broad magnetoresistance across room temperature is observed in a composite sintered at 1300 °C. This observation may be ascribed to the coexistence of multiphase in the composite which leads to a decrease in resistance. The results suggest that sintering temperature has a prominent effect on the properties of the grain boundary, which plays an important role in determining the electrical transport behaviour of the composites. |
