A Class of Cobalt Oxide Magnetoresistance Materials Discovered with Combinatorial Synthesis

Gabriel Briceño,  Hauyee Chang,  Xiaodong Sun,  Peter G. Schultz (1),  X. -D. Xiang (1)

The recent development of methods for generating libraries of solid-state compounds has made it possible to apply combinatorial approaches to the discovery of materials. A library of 128 members containing different compositions and stoichiometries of LnMCoO, where Ln = Y or La and M = Pb, Ca, Sr, or Ba, was synthesized by a combination of thin-film deposition and physical masking techniques. Large magnetoresistance has been found in La(Ba,Sr,Ca)-CoO samples, whereas Y-based samples exhibit much smaller magnetoresistive effects. The magnetoresistance of the Co-containing compounds increases as the size of the alkaline earth ion increases, in sharp contrast to Mn-containing compounds, in which the magnetoresistance effect increases as the size of the alkaline earth ion decreases.
