Abstract

ABSTRACTThis investigation focused on the study of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) thin films with 5 atomic percent Ru-doping (LSMRO). Specifically, we fabricated epitaxial LSMO and LSMRO thin films on LaAlO3 (LAO) (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Resistance- temperature measurement results showed that the Curie temperature (Tc) of LSMRO thin film deposited under an oxygen ambient pressure of 150 mTorr at 830 °C was above room temperature. Hysteresis measurements and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) results confirmed that coercivity of the optimized LSMRO films, as compared with that of LSMO films, can be greatly increased at low temperatures. The study successfully demonstrated the coercivity enhancement effect of Ru-doping on LSMO thin films deposited on LAO substrates.
