Abstract

We refer here to the electrical and magnetic properties of the Ln1−xMxCoO3 systems (Ln3+: La3+, M2+: Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+; Ln3+: Nd3+, M2+: Sr2+), paying special attention to those ferromagnetic compounds that display M–I transitions as temperature rises: La1−xMxCoO3 (M2+: Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+) in the compositional interval x=0.2–0.3, and Nd1−xSrxCoO3, with x=0.40. The magneto-transport properties of such materials are peculiar and interesting: they show diodic behavior and large relaxation effects — these latter being specially important in the Nd compound — they display magnetoresistive effects specially at the M–I transition temperatures, and they age with time. All these results are discussed on the basis of the inhomogeneous electronic structure of these doped cobalt perovskites and taking into account the influence of the lanthanide ion on their magnetic and electrical properties.
