Description
We have found that the current- voltage characteristics of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(-delta)/Nb:SrTiO3 rectifying junctions are quantitatively well-described by (thermally-assisted) tunneling with an effectively temperature-independent Schottky barrier under no magnetic field, while those of the oxygen deficient junction remarkably deviate from such a simple behavior as magnetic field is applied. These results indicate a new form of magnetoresistance arising from magnetic field changes of the interface band diagram via the strong electron-spin coupling in manganites.
