The in-plane magnetic anisotropy of epitaxial La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} (LSMO) films is studied at room temperature by the following three independent techniques: magnetooptical Kerr effect, ferromagnetic resonance at a frequency of 9.61 GHz, and recording of absorption spectra of electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 290.6 MHz. The films are deposited onto NdGaO{sub 3} (NGO) substrates in which the (110)NGO plane is tilted at an angle of 0-25.7 Degree-Sign to the substrate plane. The uniaxial magnetic anisotropy induced by the strain of the film is found to increase with the tilt angle of the (110)NGO plane. A model is proposed to describe the change in the magnetic anisotropy energy with the tilt angle. A sharp increase in the radio-frequency absorption in a narrow angular range of a dc magnetic field near a hard magnetization axis is detected The anisotropy parameters of the LSMO films grown on (110)NGO, (001)SrTiO{sub 3}, and (001)[(LaAlO{sub 3}){sub 0.3} + (Sr{sub 2}AlTaO{sub 6}){sub 0.7}] substrates are compared.
