We report the physical properties of La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ thin films on Sr₂IrO₄ single crystals. The manganite films are deposited using oxide molecular beam epitaxy on flux-grown (001)-oriented iridate crystals. Temperature-dependent magnetotransport and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements reveal the presence of a ferromagnetic metallic ground state in the films, consistent with films grown on SrTiO₃ and La_0.3Sr_0.7Al_0.65Ta_0.35O₃. A parallel resistance model is used to separate conduction effects within the Sr₂IrO₄ substrate and the La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ thin films, revealing that the measured resistance maximum does not correspond to the manganite Curie temperature but results from a convolution of properties of the near-insulating substrate and metallic film. The ability to grow and characterize epitaxial perovskites on Sr₂IrO₄ crystals enables a new route for studying magnetism at oxide interfaces in the presence of strong spin-orbit interactions.
