Abstract:In this work thin films of the La1-xSrxCoO3 (0.05 < x < 0.26) compound were grown, employing the so-called spray pyrolysis process. The as-grown thin films exhibit polycrystalline microstructure, with uniform grain size distribution, and observable porosity. Regarding their electrical transport properties, the produced thin films show semiconducting-like behavior, regardless the Sr doping level, which is most likely due to both the oxygen deficiencies and the grainy nature of the films. Furthermore, room tempe… Show more
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.
