We report on the magnetization, resistivity and magnetoresistance measurements on polycrystalline samples of Sm0.55Sr0.45-xCexMnO3 (x = 0 and 0.05). Substitution of Ce(x = 0.05) reduced the para-ferromagnetic transition from similar to140 K (x = 0) to 90 K. For x = 0, the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) (- 100(rho(B) - rho(o))/p(o)) effect of 55% (143 K) was observed in a field of 0.6 Oe. On the other hand, for the x = 0.05 sample, at 93 K. the CMR effect which was 32% in the field of 65 Oe increased to 87% in the field of 0.6 T. Our data rule out grain boundary effects as the principal cause but point out the applicability of the phase separation model. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
