Abstract
We report on the fabrication and structural characterization of coherently strained La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (LCMO) thin films and La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/La2/3Ba1/3 MnO3 (LCMO/LBMO) heterostructures on SrTiO3 substrates. The thin films grow in a layer-by-layer mode as verified by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) reciprocal space mapping shows that the thin films match the substrate lattice constants leading to a strong tetragonal distortion of the lattice. Such (ultra)thin films and heterostructures are well suited for a systematic investigation of the influence of biaxial strain on the physical properties of doped manganites.
