The perovskite (La1-xSnx)(y)MnO3-delta (LSnMO) films with colossal magnetor
esistance effect have been grown on (100)LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser
deposition. The strain and grain size of different thick LSnMO films have b
een investigated, Through the analyses of the transport and magnetic anisot
ropic properties of LSnMO films, the effects of strain and grain size on th
e film properties have been discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
