文摘

Single-phase epitaxial La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) thin films with significantly enhanced low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) properties (23% at 20 K) are demonstrated in this work. The LSMO films on SrTiO₃ (001) substrates exhibit tilted and well-aligned nanocolumn structure achieved by pulsed laser oblique-angle deposition (PLOAD) followed by subsequent postannealing. The tilted aligned nanocolumnar (TAN) arrays have been achieved at relative high deposition angles (鈮?0^o) and low deposition temperatures (鈮?50 掳C). More attractively, the tilted grain boundaries (GBs) can be systematically manipulated by the postannealing process and so can the LFMR values of the LSMO TAN films. These results demonstrate that the tilted nanocolumnar films achieved by PLOAD and the GB tailoring by postannealing may provide a new approach to control and manipulate the magnetotransport properties of single-phase manganite perovskite films for device applications that require large LFMR effects, high epitaxial quality, and low resistivity.
