چکیده

Measurements of elastic constants of strained 200 and 400 nm thin films, as well as unstrained samples, of the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) material La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 are presented. Since the peak resistance temperature of a strained CMR film decreases as the film thickness decreases, it is of interest to see if features in the elastic constants, reflecting structural or magnetic changes, follow the peak resistance temperature. It is observed that features in the elastic constants appear not only at the peak resistance temperatures of the CMR samples, but also at a temperature about 17 K higher. A new technique, thin-film resonant ultrasound spectroscopy, was used to make the measurements.

Domain structure and magnetotransport in epitaxial colossal magnetoresistance thin films

Our studies of compressively strained La0.7Sr0.3MnO7 ~LSMO! thin films reveal the importance of domain structure and strain effects in the magnetization reversal and magnetotransport. Normal and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction indicate that the compressive strain on these LSMO thin films on ~100! LaAlO3 is not completely relaxed up to thicknesses on the order of 1000 Å. The effect of the co...

Defect Induced Enhanced Low Field Magnetoresistance and Photoresponse in Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 thin Films

We have investigated the effect of grain boundary related defects on the electronic transport properties of the colossal magnetoresistive low bandwidth manganite Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 (PCMO) thin films. A series of PCMO films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition method on MgO and STO substrates. Characterizations of the structural, magnetic and magneto-transport properties show that the films prep...

Colossal Terahertz Magnetoresistance at Room Temperature in Epitaxial La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 Nanocomposites and Single-Phase Thin Films.

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is demonstrated at terahertz (THz) frequencies by using terahertz time-domain magnetospectroscopy to examine vertically aligned nanocomposites (VANs) and planar thin films of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. At the Curie temperature (room temperature), the THz conductivity of the VAN was dramatically enhanced by over 2 orders of magnitude under the application of a magnetic fiel...
