摘要: La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 (LCMO) thin films have been epitaxially grown on ferroelectric 0.67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.33PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) substrates. The substrate-induced strain effects the transport and photoinduced demagnetization in LCMO were investigated. resistances (PRs) of systematically changed versus temperature before after ferroelectric-poling PMN-PT, indicating that photoexcited extra carriers may suppress neighboring spin correlation due to photoassisted hopping anti-Jahn–Teller polarons. Moreover, a significant modulation PR by electric fields applied across PMN-PT was observed. In situ x-ray diffraction indicates observed variations result from polarization or converse piezoelectric effect.
