摘要：

The transport properties across La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/SrTiO3 (LCMO/STO) heterostructures with different thicknesses of the STO insulating barrier have been studied by using atomic force microscopy measurements in the current sensing (CS) mode. To avoid intrinsic problems of the CS method we have developed a nanostructured contact geometry of Au dots. The conduction process across the LCMO/STO interface exhibits the typical features of a tunneling process. The analysis of I(V) curves by using the Simmons model allows us to determine the barrier height (phi(0)approximate to 0.6 eV) of STO barriers.
