Abstract

Sr2CrWO6/Sr2Fe10/9Mo8/9O6 (SCWO/SFMO) superlattices with 4, 6, 7, 10 periods (abbreviated as S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4) were prepared on (0 0 1) SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. All superlattices show macroscopic ferromagnetic behavior, and the magnetization increases with increasing period. The S-1 superlattice demonstrates semiconductor-like temperature-dependent resistivity in the whole measuring temperature range and negative magnetoresistance of −5.3% at 2 K with 2 T magnetic field, while the other superlattices illustrate metallic behaviors and increasing positive magnetoresistance of 223.1%, 275.4%, and 766.1% under the same conditions. This work not only provides a feasible way to tune the MR effect in magnetic perovskite oxides, but also may stimulate further work on artificially micro-structured thin films with designable magnetic properties.
