Abstract

We have been able to deduce a temperature dependence of the built-in potential in La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 grain boundary junctions. This has been performed by trimming a single grain boundary down to 1μm width with a focused ion-beam. We can thereby see the impact of single domain walls on the magnetoresistance and the current-voltage characteristics. We have also demonstrated the effect of averaging as we increased the number of junctions.
