Abstract

Thin films of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) were prepared at 670 °C on LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by liquid-delivery metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction analysis 2¸/¸ and pole figure scans showed that the films are epitaxial with (001)LSMO//(001)LAO and (001)LSMO//(001)STO. The crystal structure of LSMO/LAO was indexed as face-centered cubic with a double cell and LSMO/STO as simple cubic. Electron microscopy revealed square facets and elongated grain features. Films heat-treated between 700 and 800 °C on LAO resulted in a structural change, while those on STO showed an increase in texture.
