Transport anisotropy in biaxially strained La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films
(2002) In Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics 66(5). p.524141-524144- Abstract
Due to the complex interplay of magnetic, structural, electronic, and orbital degrees of freedom, biaxial strain is known to play an essential role in the doped manganites. For coherently strained La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films grown on SrTiO3 substrates, we measured the magnetotransport properties both parallel and perpendicular to the substrate and found an anomaly of the electrical transport properties. Whereas metallic behavior is found within the plane of biaxial strain, for transport perpendicular to this plane an insulating behavior and nonlinear current-voltage characteristics (IVCs) are observed. The most natural explanation of this anisotropy is a strain induced transition from an... (More)
Due to the complex interplay of magnetic, structural, electronic, and orbital degrees of freedom, biaxial strain is known to play an essential role in the doped manganites. For coherently strained La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films grown on SrTiO3 substrates, we measured the magnetotransport properties both parallel and perpendicular to the substrate and found an anomaly of the electrical transport properties. Whereas metallic behavior is found within the plane of biaxial strain, for transport perpendicular to this plane an insulating behavior and nonlinear current-voltage characteristics (IVCs) are observed. The most natural explanation of this anisotropy is a strain induced transition from an orbitally disordered ferromagnetic state to an orbitally ordered state associated with antiferromagnetic stacking of ferromagnetic manganese oxide planes.
