We report measurements of the low-frequency optical response in epitaxial thin films of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 in the temperature range covering both the ferromagnetic metallic state and the paramagnetic insulating state. We observe a bolometric optical response in fully oxygenated films of the above composition as well as in oxygen deficient films. In both types of samples, the optical response is thermal in nature as indicated by its proportionality with the temperature derivative of the resistance dR/dT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
