Low Temperature Magnetothermodynamics of Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a detailed magnetothermal study of Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3, a perovskite manganite in which an insulator-metal transition can be driven by magnetic field, but also by pressure, visible light, x-rays, or high currents. We find that the field-induced transition is associated with a large release of energy which accounts for its strong irreversibility. In the ferromagnetic metallic state, specific heat and magnetization measurements indicate a much smaller spin wave stiffness than that seen in any other ferromagnetic manganite, which we explain in terms of ferromagnetism among the Pr moments. The Pr ferromagnetism also appears to influence the low temperature thermodynamic phase diagram of this material and the uniquely sensitive metastability of the insulating state. aCorresponding author: [email protected]

Calcium-doped praseodymium manganite films (Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3, PCMO) were prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on SrTiO3 (001) and SrTiO3 (110) single-crystal substrates. Structural characterization through X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses confirmed the formation of epitaxial PCMO phase films. Energy dispersive X-ray (E...

We report on material improvements to non-filamentary RRAM devices based on Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 by introducing an MoOx buffer layer together with a reactive Al electrode, and on device measurements designed to help gauge the performance of these devices as bidirectional analog synapses for on-chip acceleration of the backpropagation algorithm. Previous Al/PCMO devices exhibited degraded LRS retentio...
