ABSTRACT:
Provided are new compositions of ruthenates in the pervoskite and layered pervoskite family, wherein the ruthenate compositions exhibit large magnetoresistance (MR) and electric-pulse-induced resistance (EPIR) switching effects, the latter observable at room temperature. This is the first time large MR and EPIR effects have been shown together in ruthenate compositions. Further provided are methods for synthesizing the class of ruthenates that exhibits such properties, as well as methods of use therefor in electromagnetic devices, thin films, sensors, semiconductors, insulators and the like.
