Vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films with ordered two phases, grown epitaxially on
substrates, have attracted tremendous interest in the past decade. These unique …

The perovskite manganites with generic formula RE 1− x AE x MnO 3 (RE= rare earth, AE=
Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb) have drawn considerable attention, especially following the discovery of …

We review and critique the recent developments on multifunctional oxide materials, which
are gaining a good deal of interest. Recongnizing that this is a vast area, the focus of this …

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 …

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 …

We present evidence for the coexistence of ferromagnetic metallic and charge-ordered
insulating phases in strained thin films of La 0.67 Ca 0.33 MnO 3 at low temperatures. Such …

We present a study of the effect of biaxial strain on the electrical and magnetic properties of
thin films of manganites. We observe that manganite films grown under biaxial compressive …

Conventional solid films on certain substrates play a crucial role in various applications, for
example in flat panel displays, silicon technology, and protective coatings. Recently …

Strain is a novel approach to manipulating functionalities in correlated complex oxides.
However, significant epitaxial strain can only be achieved in ultrathin layers. We show that …

Spinel ferrite NiFe2O4 thin films have been grown on three isostructural substrates,
MgAl2O4, MgGa2O4, and CoGa2O4 using pulsed laser deposition. These substrates have …
