Abstract

We have studied the properties of epitaxial La(1-x)SrxMnO3 (x=0.3, 0.5) epitaxial thin films grown on BaTiO3 and SrTiO3. Significant modifications of properties are observed in magnetization and resistivity versus temperature experiments. These modifications occur at temperatures corresponding to structural phase transitions in the substrate. The x=0.5 composition is particularly sensitive to changes in the epitaxial strain state, exhibiting a direct correlation between changes in strain, magnetization and resistivity. Strain can also be induced in BaTiO3 by the inverse piezoelectric effect, which results in as much as a 13% decrease in the resistivity of the film.
