20. However, even in single crystals, some spectra for the transport properties still exist. MR values at 5 T ranged from about 2 to 20% and the MR ratio for the two magnetic field directions shows a wide variation among reports.

26. This coincidence removes a lot the possible artifacts due to different effective numbers of lattice constants from our single crystal and polycrystal. These values are only 0.04% different with each other.
