We investigate magnetoresistance, ρ{sub c}, of single-crystal bilayer lanthanum manganites (La{sub 1−z}Nd{sub z}){sub 1.4}Sr{sub 1.6}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 7} (z = 0 and 0.1) at a transport current flowing along the crystal c axis and in external magnetic fields applied parallel to the crystal c axis or ab plane. It is demonstrated that the La{sub 1.4}Sr{sub 1.6}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 7} manganite exhibits the positive magnetoresistance effect in the magnetic field applied in the ab sample plane at the temperatures T < 60 K, along with the negative magnetoresistance typical of all the substituted lanthanum manganites. In the (La{sub 0.9}Nd{sub 0.1}){sub 1.4}Sr{sub 1.6}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 7} sample, the positive magnetoresistance effect is observed at temperatures of 60–80 K in an applied field parallel to the c axis. The mechanism of this effect is shown to be fundamentally different from the colossal magnetoresistance effect typical of lanthanum manganites. The positive magnetoresistance originates from spin-dependent tunneling of carriers between the manganese-oxygen bilayers and can be explained by features of the magnetic structure of the investigated compounds.
