Large magnetoresistance values are obtained on tunnel junctions epitaxially deposited by pulsed-laser deposition and consisting of ferromagnetic manganite La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} electrodes separated by various tunnel barriers: SrTiO{sub 3}, PrBaCu{sub 2.8}Ga{sub 0.2}O{sub 7} and CeO{sub 2}. The magnetoresistance can be decomposed into a low-field and a high-field contribution. The latter is attributed to the presence of canted interfacial manganite phases, as confirmed by the temperature behavior of the resistance. A low-field magnetoresistance ratio of 450% below 100 Oe is obtained on a sample with a SrTiO{sub 3} barrier, indicating a spin polarization value in excess of 0.83 for the manganite.
