摘要: Epitaxial (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3)1–x:(ZnO)x (LSMO:ZnO) in vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) form was integrated on STO/TiN-buffered silicon substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. Their magnetotransport properties have been investigated and are systematically tuned through controlling the ZnO concentration. The composite film with 70% molar ratio exhibits a maximum magnetoresistance (MR) value of 55% at 70 K 1 T. enhanced tunable low-field MR attributed to structural magnetic disorders spin-polarized tunneling secondary phase. integration LSMO:ZnO VAN films is critical step enabling application future spintronic devices.
