Crystallinity and magnetoresistance in calcium doped lanthanum manganites
- Florida State Univ., Tallahassee, FL (United States)
Thin films of calcium doped lanthanum manganites La{sub 1{minus}x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} (LCMO) with x {approximately} 0.41 have been prepared on LaAlO{sub 3}(001) (LAO) Y-stabilized ZrO{sub 2}(001) (YSZ), and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}(0001) (SAP) substrates by liquid delivery metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (LD-MOCVD). The films on YSZ and SAP substrates have a textured, polycrystalline morphology with a preferred orientation of (110). The films on LAO show a single-crystalline morphology and a (100) orientation. Transport measurements show the polycrystalline films have a resistance peak approximately 60 K lower than the films on LAO and, in general, have a much higher overall resistance. The magnetoresistance (MR) ratio ([R(H) - R(0)]/R(H)) is sharply peaked near the maximum in resistance for the films on LAO, while the polycrystalline films show a noticeable absence of this sharply peaked behavior and a flat, rather large ({approximately} 100%) MR ratio over a large temperature range. These results will be discussed in terms of grain boundary scattering, crystallite size, and magnetization.
