Liquid delivery, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was used to deposit high quality, A-site deficient crystalline films of LaxCayMnO3 where x + y < 1. The properties of the deposited thin-films are strongly dependent upon the film stoichiometry and display magnetoresistance repsonses at or above room temperature. Using Ca doped A-site deficient thin-films, we can shift the metal to insulator transition (Te) in a controlled manner to temperatures that are useful for commercial applications. Further, these films exhibit useful magnetoresistance at room temperature in relatively small applied magnetic fields.
