Abstract

( La 2/3-x Y x) ( Ca 1/3-y Sr y) MnO 3 (LYCSMO) thin films with x = 0.08 and y = 0.0868 deposited on SrTiO 3 (STO), Yttrium-stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ), LaAlO 3 (LAO), and MgO substrates are fabricated. Atomic force microscopy measurements reveal that the morphology is quite different for all films. A two-dimensional growth mode is suitable for LYCSMO film on STO, while on LAO, YSZ, and MgO , an island growth mode may be a good description for the growth of LYCSMO films. X-ray diffraction studies show that the films epitaxially grow along c axis on STO, LAO, and MgO substrates, while grows along a axis on YSZ substrate. The in-plane and out-of-plane lattice parameters are also obtained for films grown on all substrates.
