Annealing assisted substrate coherency and high-temperature antiferromagnetic insulating transition in epitaxial La0.67Ca0.33MnO3/NdGaO3(001) films

Bulk La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) and NdGaO3 (NGO) have the same Pbnm symmetry but different orthorhombic lattice distortions, yielding an anisotropic strain state in the LCMO epitaxial film grown on the NGO(001) substrate. The films are optimally doped in a ferromagnetic-metal ground state, after being...
