AbstractA sequence of epitaxial La0.75Sr0.25MnO3 (LSMO) films with thickness ranging from 2400 to 50 Å have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition onto (110) SrTiO3 (STO) substrates. Compared with oar previous results on LSMO/STO(100) films [1], films on STO(110) substrates exhibit strong, anisotropy of electrical resistivity p. p measured in [110] direction is comparable with the resistivity of LSMO/STO(100) films while p in [001] direction is 25 times higher than in STO(100) case. The maximum value of anisotropy parameter p[001]/p[110] = 25 is reached for thick films at the low temperature of 90 K. Distinct crossover from 3D to 2D case has been observed. For thick films anisotropy monotonously decreases with the temperature increase. Films thinner than 200 Å exhibit a maximum of anisotropy parameter, which shifts to lower temperatures with the thickness decrease. The maximum temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) was found to be around 2% if measured along [001] direction and about 50 % higher in [11O] inplane direction. We explain the observed effects in terms of the crystalline properties of fabricated films.

ABSTRACTEpitaxial La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 films have been prepared on LaAlO3 crystals by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and by a novel all-alkoxide sol-gel technique. Different out-of-plane lattice parameters are found for the as-prepared films, and scanning electron microscopy shows a more porous structure for sol-gel films as compared to PLD films. These differences are largely removed by post-annealing at 1000 °C. Transport measurements show maximum temperature coefficient of resistivity of 8.2 % K−1 at 258 K (PLD) and 6.1 % K−1 at 241 K (sol-gel) and colossal magnetoresistance at 7 kOe of 35 % at 263 K (PLD) and 32 % at 246 K (sol-gel).

ABSTRACTAIN thin films have been grown epitaxially on Si(111) and Al2O3(0001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. These films were characterized by FTIR and UV-Visible, x-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy, and electrical resistivity. The films deposited on silicon and sapphire at 750-800°C and laser energy density of ∼ 2 to 3J/cm2 are epitaxial with an orientational relationship of AIN[0001]║ Si[111], AIN[2 110]║Si[011] and AlN[0001]║Al2O3[0001], AIN[1 2 1 0]║ Al2O3[0110] and AIN[1010] ║ Al2O3[2110]. The both AIN/Si and AIN/Al2O3 interfaces were found to be quite sharp without any indication of interfacial reactions. The absorption edge measured by UV-Visible spectroscopy for the epitaxial AIN film grown on sapphire was sharp and the band gap was found to be 6.1eV. The electrical resistivity of the films was about 5-6×l013Ω-cm with a breakdown field of 5×106V/cm. We also found that the films deposited at higher laser energy densities ≥10J/cm2 and lower temperatures ≤650°C were nitrogen deficient and containing free metallic aluminum which degrade the microstructural, electrical and optical properties of the AIN films
