Colossal magnetoresistance occurs when nanoclusters form at specific temperatures
(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador have found that, at just the right temperatures, nanoclusters form and improve the flow of electrical current through certain oxide materials. This work could be used in a number of industrial applications including spintronics, which exploit electrical and magnetic properties for use in solid-state electronics. The researchers findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences during the week of December 12, 2011....
