Room temperature ultrahigh magnetoresistance in La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 thin films with ordered nanometer structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the preparation and investigation of ferromagnetic La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) thin films with orthogonally (along (110) and (1ı̄0)) distributed nanometer-scale cracks. When the density of cracks reaches ,10 cm, the magnetoresistance MR 1⁄4 ðRH 2 R0Þ=R0 . 230% was observed in the magnetic fields #200 Oe and temperature range from 5 to .300 K. The discussion about such unique feature will be done based on the spin-polarized electron tunneling and spin scattering. q 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. PACS: 75.47.Lx; 75.47. 2 m

Thickness dependent magnetotransport in ultra-thin manganite films
To understand the near-interface magnetism in manganites, uniform, ultrathin films of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 were grown epitaxially on single crystal (001) LaAlO3 and (110) NdGaO3 substrates. The temperature and magnetic field dependent film resistance is used to probe the film’s structural and magnetic properties. A surface and/or interface related dead-layer is inferred from the thickness dependent...
متن کاملMicrostructure and inter-grain magnetoresistance in Ag-doped polycrystalline La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 thin films
Ag-doped La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 thin films with various Ag concentrations were deposited on (001) LaAlO3 substrates at 400 ◦C by using a dual-beam pulsedlaser deposition system. The Ag-doped films show polycrystalline structure with epitaxial c-axis columns. These columns were composed of closely arranged polyhedra of size 10–15 nm, resulting from the enhanced stressinduced grain boundary diffusion. ...
متن کاملColossal 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...
متن کاملStrain-induced symmetry reduction of epitaxial La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 films
Introduction Due to spin, lattice and orbital coupling, manganese-based La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO) compounds exhibit unusual physical properties, such as colossal magnetoresistance and almost total spin polarization (95% at 4 K) at the composition x = 0.33 [1]. Thus, La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 has significant potential for applications in spintronic devices such as magnetic field sensors, networked environmenta...
متن کاملIncreased Curie Temperature Induced by Orbital Ordering in La0.67Sr0.33MnO3/BaTiO3 Superlattices
Recent theoretical studies indicated that the Curie temperature of perovskite manganite thin films can be increased by more than an order of magnitude by applying appropriate interfacial strain to control orbital ordering. In this work, we demonstrate that the regular intercalation of BaTiO3 layers between La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 layers effectively enhances ferromagnetic order and increases the Curie ...
