Abstract: A polycrystalline La2/3(Ca0.60Ba0.40)1/3MnO3 was prepared by standard solid reaction method. Magnetization(M) and magnetoresistance of the sample were measured between T=77K and 350K. It is found that some correlations exist in the external field dependency of the magnetoresistance magnetoresistance and M in the low and high temperature regions. Moreover, there are different magnetic field dependence of magnetoresistance and magnetization in different temperature ranges, which indicates the presence of different magnetoresistance mechanisms. Based on the models of spin-polarized tunneling and percolation model, the simulated magnetoresistance obtained using Monte Carlo method well explains the experimental fact.
