Strain driven anisotropic magnetoresistance in antiferromagnetic La0.4Sr0.6MnO3

Abstract: We investigate the effects of strain on antiferromagnetic (AFM) single crystal thin films of La1−xSrxMnO3 (x = 0.6). Nominally unstrained samples have strong magnetoresistance with anisotropic magnetoresistances (AMR) of up to 8%. Compressive strain suppresses magnetoresistance but generates AMR values of up to 63%. Tensile strain presents the only case of a metal-insulator transition and demonstrates a previously unreported AMR behavior. In all three cases, we find evidence of magnetic ordering and no indicat… Show more

“…This observation could be explained by the AFM moments in SMO being easier to rotate gradually when driven by a large rotating field than to reverse abruptly when sweeping the magnetic field, producing 144431-3 a stronger spin absorption for H//I compared with that for H ⊥ I, and thus a higher resistance for the former case (0°a nd 180°). Such moment rotation in the AFM insulator is supported by similar findings in AFM semiconductors and manganites [34,35].…”

“…By then cooling back into the antiferromagnetic phase with the field still applied, the antiferromagnetic spin direction can be controlled. Other experiments used antiferromagnets exchange coupled to a ferromagnet, 18,19 large magnetic fields 20,21 or electrical current 2 (as we discuss in depth later) to manipulate the antiferromagnetic moments. The full functional form of AMR, shown in Fig.…”

“…For instance, in some materials, the pressure dependence deviates from its bulk behavior. This is mainly due to i) geometric anisotropy that arises when grain size is commensurate with the film thickness making the film quasi two-dimensional, ii) substrate clamping, that affects thin films under pressure by fixing their in-plane elastic response 16 or iii) complex thin film microstructure that can affect many properties by changing local strain [17][18][19] .…”
