The effect of the deposition temperature on the low-field magnetoresistance of polycrystalline La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 thin films produced by pulsed laser deposition

چکیده
Pulsed laser deposition of La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 (LSMO) thin films on quartz wafers at different deposition temperatures has been carried out. The microstructural, electrical and low-field magnetotransport properties of these films are evaluated as functions of the deposition temperature. The film crystallinity depends substantially on the deposition temperature. Significantly enhanced low-field magnetoresistance for the samples deposited from 570 ◦C to 600 ◦C, in which amorphous phase and polycrystalline phase coexist, is observed. The electrical and low-field magnetotransport properties of the thin films are explained by the two-channel model where insulating channels of variable-range-hopping conduction and metallic ones coexist.

Polycrystalline La0.7Sr0.3Mn12xFexO3 thin films, with x50 – 0.12, have been prepared on ~001!-Si substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The films consist of fine grains with an average size of 60–80 nm. For those films, the metal–insulator transition temperature, Tp , is much lower than the Curie temperature, TC . The high field magnetoresistance, HFMR, is nearly temperature independent for ...
