Abstract

We have grown epitaxial films of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) and La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) on single crystalline LaAlO3 substrates by a cost effective polymer-assisted deposition technique. Film crystallinity, microstructure, resistivity, magnetization, and magnetoresistance (MR) were highly dependent on the annealing temperature in the film processing. High negative MR values of −50% (at 305K) and −88% (at 250K) were observed at magnetic field of 5T, for high temperature annealed LSMO and LCMO films, respectively. These results are comparable to those for films grown by pulsed laser deposition and rf sputtering techniques.
