In this study, we investigated the surfaces of magnetoresistive manganites, La_1-xCa_xMnO₃ and La_2-2xSr_1+2xMn₂O₇, using a combination of ultrahigh vacuum conductive, electrostatic and magnetic force microscopy methods. Scanning as-grown film with a metal tip, even with zero applied bias, was found to modify the surface electronic properties such that in subsequent scans, the conductivity is reduced below the noise level of conductive probe microscopy. Scanned areas also reveal a reduced contact potential difference relative to the pristine surface by ~0.3 eV. Finally, we propose that contact-pressure of the tip modifies the electrochemical potential of oxygen vacancies via the Vegard effect, causing vacancy motion and concomitant changes of the electronic properties.
