摘要
We report here studies on the effect of columnar structure on the resistivity behavior of self-doped La0.8MnO3 thin film with single phase and c-axis epitaxy fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. The film exhibits an abnormal resistivity behavior similar to that found in lanthanum-deficient LaMnO3 thin films with mixed (110)/(001) grains or polycrystalline pellets, where the resistivity peak remains almost the same temperature under external fields. This behavior is not expected based on the double exchange theory and is found to result from grain-boundary effect due to the columnar structure in this epitaxial film.
