Abstract
Thin films of composition La(1-x)A(x)MnO(3) (A = Ca, Sr) were deposited by a modified CVD process. This method uses pyrolysis of an aerosol obtained b y high-frequency spraying of a solution containing the corresponding 2,2,6, 6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione complexes solved in diethylene glycol dimet hyl ether. The growth was carried out at different temperatures in an oxyge n/argon atmosphere at a constant pressure of 10 Torr. The influence of the deposition parameters on the growth of ferromagnetic films, either without any preferential orientation or highly [100] oriented, is analyzed.
