Mixed-valence perovskite manganites (Re 1-x A x MnO 3 where Re= rare earth, A= alkaline
earth) provide a unique opportunity to study the relationships between the structure and the …

Transition metal oxides offer a wide spectrum of properties which provide the foundation for
a broad range of potential applications. Many of these properties originate from intrinsic …

We investigate the influence of a well-defined reversible biaxial strain⩽ 0.12% on the
magnetization (M) of epitaxial ferromagnetic manganite films. M has been recorded …

We report magnetic and transport properties of La 1− x Ba x MnO 3 (x= 0.05–0. 3 3) epitaxial
thin films. Compared with the corresponding bulk materials, the ferromagnetic transition …

The ferrimagnetic spinel oxide Zn x Fe 3− x O 4 combines high Curie temperature and spin
polarization with tunable electrical and magnetic properties, making it a promising functional …

The discovery of the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect in manganite compounds 1
has renewed the interest in this class of materials. The chemical formula of CMR manganites …

We report on the growth of epitaxial ZnO thin films and ZnO-based heterostructures on
sapphire substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We first discuss some recent …

We report on the structural and magnetic characterization of (110) and (001) La 2∕ 3 Ca
1∕ 3 Mn O 3 (LCMO) epitaxial thin films simultaneously grown on (110) and (001) Sr Ti O 3 …

We have deposited La 0.7 Sr 0.3 Mn O 3 (LSMO) thin films on piezoelectric (1− x) Pb (Mg
1∕ 3 Nb 2∕ 3) O 3− x Pb Ti O 3 (x∼ 0.3)(PMN-PT) single-crystal substrates and studied the …

Superlattices composed of ferromagnetics, namely La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 (LCMO), and
ferroelectrics, namely, BaTiO 3 (BTO), were grown on SrTiO 3 at 720 C by a pulsed laser …
