The magnetoresistance (MR) properties of a heterostructure fabricated by depositing a La0.5Sr0.5CoO3xA0;鈭?#xA0;蟽 film on an n-type Si substrate have been studied. The heterostructure exhibits a good rectifying behavior. A negative MR at TxA0;=xA0;210xA0;K and a positive MR at TxA0;=xA0;300xA0;K are observed for all bias currents whereas; for temperatures ranging from 240 to 280xA0;K the MR changes from being positive to negative with the increase of the bias current. The observed behavior of the MR effect is discussed in terms of current-induced ferromagnetic spin order.
