Electroresistance and field effects in epitaxial thin films of Pr0.7Sr0.3MnO3
نویسندگان
چکیده
Highly epitaxial thin films of Pr0.7Sr0.3MnO3 were grown on (100) SrTiO3 single crystal substrates by laser ablation. Similar to other manganite compounds, these Pr0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films exhibited remarkable magnetoresistance. Application of electric currents could induce a remarkable reduction in resistivity, demonstrating a strong electroresistance effect. The ratio of the resistance variation, ER = [R(0)−R(I)]/R(I), is about 33% at metal-insulator transition temperature. Using a planar field effect configuration, significant field modulation of the metal-insulator transition was achieved. The observed field effects were discussed based on the strong interactions between carrier spins and localized spins in Mn ions, as well as the percolative mechanism of phase separation.

Interfacial strain gradients in oxide epitaxial thin films provide an interesting opportunity to study flexoelectric effects and their potential applications. Oxide epitaxial thin films can exhibit giant and tunable flexoelectric effects, which are six or seven orders of magnitude larger than those in conventional bulk solids. The strain gradient in an oxide epitaxial thin film can generate an ...
متن کاملTunable electroresistance and electro-optic effects of transparent molecular ferroelectrics
Recent progress in molecular ferroelectrics (MOFEs) has been overshadowed by the lack of high-quality thin films for device integration. We report a water-based air-processable technique to prepare large-area MOFE thin films, controlled by supersaturation growth at the liquid-air interface under a temperature gradient and external water partial pressure. We used this technique to fabricate ImCl...

We report on the growth of epitaxial La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 thin films on buffered Si~001! substrates. We show that a suitable choice of the buffer heterostructure allows one to obtain epitaxial (00h), (0hh), and ~hhh! manganite thin films. The magnetotransport properties are investigated and we have found that the low-field magnetoresistance is directly related to the width of the normal-to-plane rock...
