摘要
Epitaxial La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 thin films were grown on MgO (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The as-grown films exhibit a metal-insulator transition at temperatures ranging from 200 to 230 K. Surprisingly, the transition temperature of postannealed films under O-2 at 900 degreesC decreases by more than 100 K, featured with the colossal magnetoresistance. The O-2 annealed films also show thermal hysteresis in resistivity and nonlinear I-V behavior. These results are interpreted in terms of Mn deficiency induced by large structural difference between film and substrate, and also discussed in viewpoint of a percolative phase transition.
