Abstract

Magnetic and magnetoresistance effect of needle shaped crystal and slightly Co rich Ca3Co2O6 was investigated in a temperature range between 2 K and 100 K and in a DC magnetic field range less than 7 T and in pulsed fields less than 20 T. We found 1/3 ms and 2/3 ms plateaus of the magnetization for the full magnetization ms and large negative and positive magnetoresistance peaks of 10% at the same magnetic fields, respectively.
