Abstract
shows several anomalous properties: Field-cooled (FC) resistivity at 10 K is several orders of magnitude lower than the zero-field cooled (ZFC) value, magnetoresistance isotherm at 125 K is asymmetric about the origin and resistivity and magnetization are hysteretic between field cooling and field warming. No clear difference between ZFC and FC magnetization up to 5 T was found. We suggest that nanometric-size ferromagnetic clusters coexist with the charge-ordered antiferromagnetic matrix in and the matrix breaks into domains upon field cooling which leads to low resistivity.
