Abstract
The structure, electrical resistivity, and magnetoresistance of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 heteroepitaxial films (120-nm thick) practically unstrained by lattice mismatch with the substrate were studied. A strong maximum of negative magnetoresistance of ≈27% (for μ0 H = 4 T) was observed at T ≈360 K. While the magnetoresistance decreased monotonically in magnitude with decreasing temperature, it was still in excess of 2% at 150 K. For T < 250 K, the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity ρ of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 films is fitted well by the relation ρ = ρ0 + ρ 1(H)T 2.3, where ρ0 = 1.1×10−4 Ω cm, ρ1(H = 0) = 1.8×10−9 Ω cm/K2.3, and ρ1(μ0 H = 4 T)/ρ1(H = 0) ≈0.96. The temperature dependence of a parameter γ characterizing the extent to which the electrical resistivity of the ferromagnetic phase of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 films is suppressed by a magnetic field (μ 0 H = 5 T) was determined.
