Conduction mechanisms in carbon matrix containing ferromagnetic nanoparticles
We have investigated the low-temperature resistance and magnetoresistance (MR) behavior of the carbon matrix containing ferromagnetic nanoparticles.

Summary: | We have investigated the low-temperature resistance and magnetoresistance (MR) behavior of the carbon matrix containing ferromagnetic nanoparticles. A range of compositions with different levels of disorder and varying iron content were prepared from the pyrolysis of organic precursor maleic anhydride and ferrocene. The temperature dependence of resistivity shows a negative temperature coefficient in the entire measurement range of 1.3–300
K. An increase in conductivity with the external magnetic field and a characteristic upturn at low temperature, is seen in all the compositions. The zero-field conductivity and the MR can be explained with in the framework of two-dimensional electron–electron interaction model and the Kondo-like behavior. |
