Abstract

Electron transport and magnetic properties of the cation- deficient compositions of $LaMnO_3$ with the nominal formulae $La_{1-\delta}MnO_3 (0.0\leq\delta\leq0.2)$ and $LaMn_{1-\delta'}O_3 (0.0\leq\delta'\leq 0.2)$ were investigated after their defect structures were examined. $La_{1-\delta}MnO_3 (\delta=0.1)$ contains more than one defect structure involving both La and Mn vacancies. $La_{1-\delta}MnO_3 (0.0\leq\delta\leq0.2)$ compositions are all ferromagnetic and show insulator–metal (I–M) transition, with the resistivity decreasing with increasing \delta. $LaMn_{1-\delta'}O_3$ compositions show ferromagnetism and the I-M transition only up to {\delta'}=0.05, with the resistivity increasing with {\delta'}. All compositions showing the I-M transitions exhibit giant magnetoresistance.
