Abstract

High quality epitaxial (La 2/3Sr 1/3)MnO 3 (0 0 1) thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on SrTiO 3 (0 0 1) substrate at optimized growth parameters. The films quality was confirmed by both structural and physical properties characterization. Channeling Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry characterization showed the minimal channeling coefficient as low as 4%. The LSMO thin films growth on SrTiO 3 substrate follows the island growth model. The Curie temperature of LSMO films is around 360 K, which is the one of the highest reported in literature. The resistivity of LSMO films showed the metal–insulate transition temperature coincides with the Curie temperature. This high quality LSMO is suitable for room temperature magnetic devices application.
