Abstract

ABSTRACTEpitaxial growth of oxide heterostructures, which may be utilized in spin valve applications, has been demonstrated. The heterostructures consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic metallic interlayer. The ferromagnetic material used is the manganese perovskite oxide, La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, while the metallic oxide interlayer is La0.5Sr0.5CoO3. X-ray diffraction spectra demonstrate the high structural quality of the heterostructures. The magnetization of the heterostructure as a function of magnetic field measured at room temperature yields a double hysteresis loop that is characteristic of this type of spin valve structure. The behavior of this double hysteresis loop is also examined as a function of the metallic interlayer thickness.
