Abstract

Superlattices composed of ferromagnetics, namely La $_{0.7}$ Ca $_{0.3}$ MnO $_{3}$ (LCMO), and ferroelectrics, namely, BaTiO $_{3}$ (BTO) were grown on SrTiO $_{3}$ at 720 $^{o}$ C by pulsed laser deposition process. While the out-of-plane lattice parameters of the superlattices, as extracted from the X-ray diffraction studies, were found to be dependent on the BTO layer thickness, the in-plane lattice parameter is almost constant. The evolution of the strains, their nature, and their distribution in the samples, were examined by the conventional sin $^{2} ψ$ method. The effects of structural variation on the physical properties, as well as the possible role of the strain on inducing the multiferroism in the superlattices, have also been discussed.
