Abstract

Transport properties of self-doped La 0.89 MnO 3 single crystals with Néel temperature of T N ≈139 K have been investigated in wide temperature range 10–300 K. Data suggests that current at low temperature is conducted through a strongly temperature-dependent, but almost bias independent channel operating in parallel with a bias controlled but temperature independent channel. The first channel is associated with transport across an insulating antiferromagnetic matrix while the latter one represents tunnel conductivity through intrinsic tunnel junctions appearing due to interruption of conducting percolating paths by phase separated insulating inclusions. Tunnel character of the conductivity manifests itself in nonlinear current-voltage characteristics and appearance of a zero-bias anomaly in the form of a prominent conductance peak in the vicinity of zero bias. Zero bias anomaly and V-shaped characteristics of the differential conductance at high voltages are ascribed to the formation of local magnetic states in the insulating region of the tunneling junction.
