Abstract

Charge-ordered La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 film has been deposited on (100)-LaAlO3 substrate using rf magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the bulk has orthorhombic structure and the film has the better epitaxial character. The charge-ordering transition temperature is about 280 K by fitting the resistance-temperature curve using the variable-range hopping model. The decrease in the resistance of the film irradiated by the laser is caused by the delocalization effect of the correlated electron system. The photoinduced relaxation exhibits different processes when the laser is on and off, which can be attributed to thermal fluctuation.
