Abstract
In this letter the authors report the growth of (110) oriented La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films on (0001) single-crystal sapphire substrate. Growth of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) films with a fixed orientation was achieved by carefully controlling the deposition conditions, specifically the substrate temperature. The fixed orientation relationship between the film and the sapphire substrate ((110)f‖(0002)s, (1¯10)f‖(01¯10)s, (002)f‖(2¯110)s), has been explained via domain matching epitaxy, where there is perfect matching in one direction and 19% planar misfit in the perpendicular direction. LSMO films showed interesting magnetic anisotropy along the two mutually perpendicular in-plane directions, corresponding to [002]f as strong and [1¯10]f as weak magnetization directions.
