Large domain wall magnetoresistance up to room temperature in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 bridges with nanoconstrictions
To obtain low field magnetoresistance (MR) in manganites, we have introduced a geometrically constrained magnetic domain wall (DW) in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 micrometric devices. Nanoconstrictions artificially...

In this study, we have performed magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurement on epitaxial La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 thin films containing artificial interfaces created by laser-patterning the SrTiO3 substrate. The observed increase of the resistivity and of the high-field magnetoresistance when measuring the films across the interface arrays are related to the reduction of the magnetization of the interfaces with respect to the rest of the film. As observed by the local MOKE probe, the structural disorder in the manganite film induced by the underlying patterned substrate leads to a large spin disorder responsible for a strong high-field susceptibility of the resistance. ©2001 American Institute of Physics.
