Abstract
Ca doped double perovskite PrBa1-xCaxCo2O5+δ (x = 0, 0.3, and 0.5) thin films were epitaxially grown on the (001) SrTiO3 substrates to systematically investigate the A′ site doping effect on the magnetic and electronic transport properties. With the increase in the Ca content, the magnetization measurements on the films show that the magnetic moments are significantly increased and the largest magnetic moment of 88 emu/cm3 can be achieved in the film with x = 0.5 or about 90 times larger than that from the undoped PrBaCo2O5+δ film. The electronic transport property measurements on the films indicate that the electrical conductivity can be altered by various Ca doping contents. It is interesting to note that both undoped PrBaCo2O5+δ and PrBa0.5Ca0.5Co2O5+δ films exhibit simple activation behavior, but the PrBa0.7Ca0.3Co2O5+δ film exhibits the 3D variable-range hopping mode conduction.
