Suppression of structural and magnetotransport transitions in compressed Pr0.5Sr0.5MnO3 thin films resulting in colossal magnetoresistance effect
Thin films of Pr0.5Sr0.5MnO3 have been deposited on [100]-LaAlO3 using laser ablation. In contrast to the bulk compounds, such films do not exhibit any structural and magnetotransport transitions vers...

Face-centered tetragonal (fct) eta-phase manganese nitride films have been grown on magnesium oxide (001) substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy. For growth conditions described here, reflection high energy electron diffraction and neutron scattering show primarily two types of domains rotated by 90° to each other with their c axes in the surface plane. Scanning tunneling microscopy images reveal surface domains consisting of row structures which correspond directly to the bulk domains. Neutron diffraction data confirm that the Mn moments are aligned in a layered antiferromagnetic structure. The data are consistent with the fct model of G. Kreiner and H. Jacobs for bulk Mn3N2 [J. Alloys Compd. 183, 345 (1992)]. ©2001 American Institute of Physics.
