Cs. Xiong et al., The preparation and demonstration of epitaxial La0.67Sr0.33Mn3-delta films/((110) orientation), SOL ST COMM, 114(6), 2000, pp. 341-345
The X-ray diffraction patterns and pole figures of the La0.67Sr0.33MnO3-del
ta films, which were fabricated on (110) LaAlO3 single-crystal substrates u
sing the direct current magnetron sputtering technique were studied systema
tically. It is concluded that all films are high-quality epitaxial films an
d there is a perfect matching relationship between the films and the substr
ates. The effect of the different orientations ((110) and (100)) on the res
istivity and metal-insulator transition temperature is briefly discussed. (
