Structural, magnetic and magneto-transport properties of Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn0.9V0.1O3: Indication of large field coefficient of resistance (FCR)

•Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn0.9V0.1O3 crystallizes in O′–type orthorhombic structure and Pnma space group.•The onset of CO at 233 K and spin-glass behavior observed at low temperature regime.•V doping incorporates a field-induced metal–insulator transition with low-temperature Kondo-type behavior.•Large irreversibility in both the M-H and ρ-H plots are observed at low temperature region.•Large values of MR ~ 99.99% and FCR ~ 855% of the sample reveal its important applications.
