Abstract:
We investigated the relationship between the magnetic domain (MD) configuration and crystallographic orientation in a colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) material La(0.69)Ca(0.31)MnO(3) in which anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) was observed as well. It was observed that the MD structure with a micrometre scale in the (001) plane collapses when a modulated structure with a nanometre scale emerges near the Curie temperature (T(c)). On the other hand, twin boundaries were observed to develop in the (110) plate, and they pin the MD walls. Like the pinning effect on MD walls, the emergence of vortex-like tadpole closure MDs upon the application of external magnetic field may be an origin of the AMR in La(0.69)Ca(0.31)MnO(3).

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
