Abstract: | Epitaxial La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) thin films were successfully prepared by the metal-organic deposition process on various (001) single-crystal substrates:
MgO, LaAlO3 (LAO), SrTiO3 (STO), and (LaAlO3)0.3-(SrAlTaO6)0.7 (LSAT). The crystallinity and the epitaxial growth of the LCMO films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (θ − 2θ scans
and pole-figure analysis). The temperature dependence of the resistance of the LCMO/LSAT, LCMO/STO and LCMO/LAO films exhibit
typical characteristics with a transition from the paramagnetic-insulator state to the ferromagnetic-metallic state at a temperature
peak (T
p
) ranging from 258 to 270 K. However, the LCMO/MgO films exhibited a semiconducting behavior without any transition. Based
on the R(T) measurement, we calculated the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) for a bolometric application and we obtained
22%/K, 10.2%/K and 27.5%/K for the film grown on the LSAT, STO and LAO substrates, respectively. This difference in the TCR
properties is related to the strain induced by the lattice mismatch between LCMO and the different substrates. |
