Shapoval, O.; Hühn, S.; Verbeeck, J.; Jungbauer, M.; Belenchuk, A.; Moshnyaga, V. Interface-controlled magnetism and transport of ultrathin manganite films Journal of Applied Physics 113 (2013), 17C711 We report ferromagnetic, Tc=240 K, and metallic, Tmi=250 K, behaviors of a three unit
cell thick interface engineered lanthanum manganite film, grown by metalorganic aerosol
deposition technique on SrTiO3(100) substrates. Atomically resolved electron microscopy and
chemical analysis show that ultrathin manganite films start to grow with La-O layer on a strongly
Mn/Ti-intermixed interface, engineered by an additional deposition of 2 u.c. of Sr-Mn-O. Such
interface engineering results in a hole-doped manganite layer and stabilizes ferromagnetism and
metallic conductivity down to the thickness of d=3 u.c. The films with d=8 u.c. demonstrate a
bulk-like transport behavior with Tmi~Tc=310-330 K. View/Download |
