We grow Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (001)/La1−xCaxMnO3 (001) hetereostructure epitaxially on Nb doped STO substrate using pulsed laser ablation. A field effect device configuration is formed with the manganite as the channel and the Nb:STO substrate as the gate. Channel resistance modulation by the gate pulsing is studied both with and without magnetic field. We not only find a remarkably large electroresistance effect of 76% at 4× 105V/ cm, but also the complimentarity of this ER effect with the widely studied CMR effect. The large size of this effect and the complimentarity of ER and MR effects strongly suggest a percolative phase separated picture of manganites.
