Abstract

A La0.75Ca0.25MnO3-film grown by metalorganic aerosol deposition technique was investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy. A small spot was found on the surface which exhibits the expected magnetic field dependence of the tunnelling conductivity giving the opportunity for a local spectroscopic study of the intrinsic colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) behavior. The tunnelling conductivity is strongly enhanced in an external magnetic field of 4 T and the CMR behavior can be interpreted in terms of a redistribution of occupied electronic states torwards the Fermi energy.
