Abstract

Magnetoresistance behavior of La0.60 Y0.07CaMnOx thin films epitaxially grown on LaAlO3 has been investigated. The films exhibit colossal magnetoresistance with the MR ratio in excess of 108% at ∼60K, H = 7T, which is the highest ever reported for thin film manganites. The partial substitution of La3+ ions with much smaller Y3+ ions results in more than an order of magnitude improvement in MR as compared to the undoped La-Ca-Mn-O material, both in bulk and thin film form. The La-Y-Ca-Mn-O films exhibit a strong dependence of magneto-resistance on film thickness with the maximum MR occurring at a film thickness of ∼1000Å.
