Stress deformations and structural quenching in Sm0.5Ca0.5MnO3 thin films allow a huge decrease of the charge order melting magnetic field

E. Rauwel, W. Prellier, B. Mercey +2

Thin films of Sm0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganites with charge ordering (CO) properties and colossal magnetoresistance were synthesized by pulsed laser deposition technique on (100)-SrTiO3 an…
