Insulator-metal phenomena depending on band filling (doping degree), temperature, and external magnetic field have been investigated for prototypical double-exchange ferromagnets, namely, crystals of La 1− x Sr x MnO 3 (0≤ x≤ 0.6). The electronic phase diagram in the plane of the temperature vs nominal hole concentration (x) has been deduced from the magnetic and electrical measurements on the melt-grown crystals. Around the ferromagnetic transition temperature T C, large negative magnetoresistance was observed. Irrespective of temperature, reduction of the resistivity is scaled with the field-induced magnetization (M) as-Δρ/ρ= C (M/M s) 2 for M/M s≲ 0.3, where M s is the saturated magnetization. The coefficient C strongly depends on x, ie, C≊ 4 near the compositional insulator-metal phase boundary (x c∼ 0.17), but decreases down to≊ 1 for x>= 0.4, indicating the critical change of the electronic state.
