摘要

79%Epitaxial Mn_3O_4/La_(0.7)Sr_(0.3)MnO_3(Mn_3O_4/LSMO) bilayer thin films were grown on lattice-matched single crystal substrates of SrTiO_3 (STO) (100) and MgO (100), with Mn_3O_4as the top layer, using a pulsed laser deposition technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed the single crystalline nature and epitaxial relationship between the layers. A detailed analysis of strains using XRD asymmetric/symmetric scans indicated an increasing in-plane compressive strain in the LSMO layer with increasing thicknesses of the Mn_3O_4layer, resulting in a tetragonal distortion of the LSMO lattice in the Mn_3O_4/LSMO films in comparison to the tensile strains in LSMO single-layer films grown on both STO and MgO substrates. Cross-sectional high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) images showed atomically sharp interfaces in all films. However, as opposed to a flat interface between LSMO and STO, the Mn_3O_4 and LSMO interface was undulating and irregular in the bilayer films. Magnetic measurements revealed that relative to LSMO, the presence of Mn_3O_4 in Mn_3O_4/LSMO reduced the saturation magnetization at T > 50 K (the ferrimagnetic ordering temperature of Mn_3O_4) but enhanced it at T < 50 K. The decrease of the saturation magnetization in Mn_3O_4/LSMO for T > 50 K was associated with the appearance and increase of the compressive strain with the increase in Mn_3O_4 thickness. These observations point to the importance of a ferromagnetic-ferrimagnetic interfacial coupling between the LSMO and Mn_3O_4 layers in enhancing the surface magnetism of LSMO in the Mn_3O_4/LSMO bilayers. Our study provides useful information regarding the development of manganite composite thin films with improved magnetic properties for a wide range of technological applications, such as in spintronics and sensor devices.
