采用射频磁控溅射的方法在SrTiO3(001,基片上制备了(La0.7Sr0.3MnO3)m(BiFeO3)n超晶格间隔的La0.7Sr0.3MnO3三明治结构.X射线衍射分析证明(La0.7Sr0.3MnO3)m(BiFeO3)n具有明显的超晶格结构.电流垂直于薄膜表面测得的电阻-温度关系表明.La0.7Sr0.3MnO3)m(BiFeO3)n超晶格薄膜在290 K有金属-绝缘体转变,略低于单层La0.7Sr0.3MnO3薄膜的转变温度.电流在0.01-10 mA范围内,观察到薄膜的峰值电阻随电流增大而减小,峰值变化率远大于单层La0.7Sr0.3MnO3薄膜,且随着超晶格周期厚度的增加而增大.低温下,电流-电压曲线表明其导电机制应主要为空间载子限制,且显示较大的电压偏置,表现出肖特基结的特性.     

纳米多晶La0.7Sr0.3MnO3-δ的输运性质和磁电阻效应研究

利用溶胶-凝胶法制备了纳米多晶La0.7Sr0.3MnO3-δ(LSM)块体样品.详细研究了在不同烧结温度下的ISM样品电阻率随测量温度的变化关系和磁电阻效应.随着测量温度从室温降低,电阻率ρ都在250K附近存在最大值,低于该温度后,样品表现为金属导电特性,随后在50K左右存在一极小值.即随着温度从50K左右降低到4.2K,ρ反而逐渐升高,表现为绝缘体性的导电特性.研究表明,在低温下(＜50K),ρ随温度降低而升高的现象与隧穿效应的理论模型(lnρT1/1符合得很好,表明这种现象是由于传导电子在通过邻近LSM晶粒间表面/界面层时的隧道效应所致.而在50-250K的温度范围内,其电阻率与T2成正比,表现为LSM本征的金属导电特性.因此这种低温下电阻率的极小值现象来源于隧穿效应和LSM晶粒本征的金属导电特性的相互竞争.本文还详细研究了相应的隧道磁电阻效应.

Galvanomagnetic properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.9Cu0.1O3

La_0.7Sr_0.3Mn_0.9Cu_0.1O₃ ceramic samples have been obtained by the conventional method of the solid-phase reaction, and their resistivity ρ has been investigated in a temperature range from 50 to 300 K in magnetic fields B = 0–20 T. Dependences are typical of perovskite manganites with a maximum at T _max = 140–150 K and an increase in ρ near T _max with increasing external magnetic field B. It has been established that the behavior of resistivity is caused by the variable range hopping conduction mechanism ρ(T) = ρ₀(T)exp[(T ₀/T)^1/4], where ρ₀(T) ～ T ^25/4. The Mott variable range hopping conduction has been observed below the Curie temperature for La_0.7Sr_0.3Mn_0.9Cu_0.1O₃ samples (T _C ～ 300 K) in a temperature range from 300 to 200 K. The influence of Cu doping on the properties of La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ samples is apparently caused by an additional distortion introduced into the crystal lattice of the material and by a weakening of the double-exchange mechanism.     

Magnetooptical faraday effect in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3−δ films

The Faraday effect spectra were measured in La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3−δ films. A band attributed to d-d transitions ⁴ A _2g -⁴ T _2g in Mn⁴⁺ ions or octahedral complexes (MnO₆)⁸⁻ was observed in the spectral region of ∼2.7 eV. The position and value of the maximum of the Faraday rotation band and the figure of merit were found to depend on the degree of charge and magnetic uniformity of the films. The films can be used to develop mag-netooptical modulators.     

Crystallographic study of the rhombohedral-oriented domains in a La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 film

The microstructures present in a thin film of La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃, grown by computer-controlled laser molecular beam epitaxy on a SrTiO₃ (001) substrate, were characterized by means of cross-section and plan-view transmission electron microscopy. Four kinds of rhombohedral-oriented domains and two types of domain boundaries were identified in the film. The crystallographic relationships between each domain and the substrate were established on the basis of a hexagonal unit cell using Miller–Bravais indices. A mechanism for the formation of the oriented domains is proposed from the viewpoint of the evolution of strain relaxation during film preparation.     

Transport properties and anomalous fatigue effect of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures

The transport properties and fatigue effect of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures are described. By examining the I-V curves, an anomalous fatigue effect was found and its influences on resistive states were studied. I-V curves combined with C-f spectra were used to directly analyze the transport properties and fatigue effect. Compared to the first I-V cycle state, this structure shows more than one order increase of resistance after 100 cycles of ＂I-V curve training＂. The redistribution of oxygen vacancies in the depletion layer of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3 is believed to be responsible for the different resistance mechanisms and tenfold magnitude drop in resistance. The resistive switching is understood to be caused by electric field-induced carrier trapping and detrapping, which changes the depletion layer thickness at the Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3 interface.

Magnetic and magnetooptical properties of polycrystalline films of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) is studied in comparison with the magnetic behavior of polycrystalline films of La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) deposited on a single crystal of zirconium oxide stabilized by yttrium (YSZ). It is found that the bands observed in MCD spectra are characterized by different temperature dependences.     

Finite size effect and phase diagram of ultra-thin La0.7Sr0.3MnO3

La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) ultra-thin films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition in conditions optimized for cation stoichiometry and bulk-like physical properties in the thick limit. Through electrical transport and magnetic measurements, a phase diagram is constructed as a function of film thickness. With decreasing thickness, the LSMO films cross over at high temperatures from a paramagnetic metal to a paramagnetic insulator, and at low temperatures from a ferromagnetic metal to a ferromagnetic insulator, in close similarity to that observed for varying the electronic bandwidth in bulk manganites.     

In-plane structural order of domain engineered La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films

We present a detailed structural study of tensile-strained La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ thin films. We use the substrate miscut to control the number of rhombohedral variants in the films and study the in-plane order and structural distortions. Using high-resolution X-ray diffraction, we demonstrate that step-edge induced lattice modulations occur in 4-variant films, whereas periodic twinning is the dominant in-plane order for 2-variant films. We show that the in-plane twinning angle is almost completely relaxed. However, the relaxation of shear strain by the out-of-plane twinning angle and the monoclinic distortion is only partial. Furthermore, the film thickness dependence of the domain width reveals that domain formation is a universal mechanism for shear strain relaxation. Finally, we show that the structural response to the transition from the paramagnetic to the ferromagnetic phase of La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ at 345?K is smaller in 4-variant films compared to 2-variant films.     

Activation energy in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/YBa2Cu3O7-δ / La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 superconducting trilayers

Resistivity vs. temperature measurements on La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃/YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ /La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃ (LCMO/YBCO/LCMO) trilayers with different YBCO thickness, were performed in external magnetic field H up to 8 T. By evaluating the activation energy U from the slope of the resistivity Arrhenius plot, a strong depression of U has been observed when decreasing the YBCO layer thickness and the absolute U values appear to be reduced with respect to the values reported in literature in the case of YBCO thin films and YBCO/insulating multilayers. Moreover, a logarithmic U vs. H dependence is shown both in the case of thick and thin YBCO layers indicating the formation of a two dimensional vortex lattice. The experimental data are discussed considering the strong influence of the ferromagnetic LCMO on the superconducting YBCO properties which reduces the effective YBCO thickness more than predicted by the conventional theories.     

Composite (La,Sr)MnO3–YSZ cathode for SOFC

(La, Sr)MnO₃ (LSM)–Y doped ZrO₂ (YSZ) composite was prepared using YSZ colloidal suspension (initial YSZ particle size ∼100 nm), YSZ and LSM polymer precursors on dense substrates at 800 °C annealing temperature. The results of a symmetrical LSM–YSZ composite cell test showed the area specific resistance for overpotential of 0.14 Ω cm² at 800 °C, which indicated that the LSM–YSZ composite could be a potential candidate for cathode in SOFCs. The performance of the cell with the LSM–YSZ composite cathode and Ni-YSZ anode was investigated and the power density of about 0.26 W cm^− 2 was obtained at 850 °C using hydrogen fuel.     

Magnetic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 manganite films obtained by extraction pyrolysis

The structural and magnetic properties of manganite films obtained for the first time by extraction pyrolysis have been experimentally investigated. It has been established that at annealing temperatures T ≈ 600 K the films are fine-grained and have spin-glass-like magnetic properties. Prolonged annealing at T ≥ 700 K results in grain overgrowth and ferromagnetic behavior.

（La0．6Nd0．4）0．7Sr0．3MnO3薄膜的厚度依赖的结构与输运性

厚度为6～100 nm的(La0.6Nd0.4)0.7,Sr0.3MnO3(LNSMO)薄膜是由脉冲激光沉积生长在SrTiO3[STO(001)]衬底上.X-射线衍射(XRD)线扫描、ω-摇摆曲线和倒空间衍射显示,随着膜厚(t)的变化,薄膜的结构经历了由完全应变到部分弛豫的变化.电阻测量显示存在两个不同的厚度依赖的金属-绝缘体转变温度(Tp),对于应变的薄膜(t≤17 nm),Tp敏感地依赖于双轴应变和膜厚;而对较厚的薄膜(t≥35nm),Tp对于膜厚是较小敏感的.这个厚度依 赖的输运性的变化可被解释为菱形LNSMO的角度畸变诱导的应变和弛豫.我们的结果表明金属-绝缘体转变温度和相分离都受薄膜的应变态控制.     

A mechanistic study on the activation process of (La,Sr)MnO3 electrodes of solid oxide fuel cells

The mechanism of the activation process for the O₂ reduction on (La_0.8Sr_0.2)_0.9MnO₃ (LSM) electrodes is investigated by examining the electrochemical behavior of LSM under cathodic and anodic polarization conditions and the relaxation behavior of LSM under open circuit. A comparative study is also performed on a LSM electrode after dilute acid etching treatment. It has been shown that the segregated SrO has a significant inhibiting effect on the surface exchange process such as dissociative adsorption, incorporation and diffusion of oxygen species on the LSM surface, resulting in the initially very high impedance for the O₂ reduction on LSM electrodes. A mechanism involving the incorporation of SrO into LSM lattice with the concomitant removal of cation vacancies is proposed for the activation effect of cathodic current passage/polarization in solid oxide fuel cells.     

Laser‐induced magnetisation dynamics in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrRuO3 superlattices

Laser‐induced magnetisation dynamics of a La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃/SrRuO₃ superlattice is studied by means of a single‐colour optical pump‐probe technique. Significant differences in the magnetisation dynamics of a superlattice with respect to the single layers of constituent materials are demonstrated. Below the Curie temperature T_C of SrRuO₃, laser‐induced ultrafast demagnetisation is found to be followed by a uniform precession of the magnetisation around its new equilibrium. The data is described within a simple model based on a displacive excitation of a precessional magnetisation dynamics. The model is shown to give a good fit to the experimental data. As the initial temperature approaches T_C, the oscillations get suppressed and eventually vanish. The magnetisation dynamics is shown to depend on whether the two distinct magnetisation vectors in the superlattice are ferromagnetically or antiferromagnetically aligned.
