Separation of the strain and finite size effect on the ferromagnetic properties of La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3 thin films

Changkun Xie, J. I. Budnick, B. O. Wells +1

The ferromagnetic properties of epitaxial La${}_{0.5}$Sr${}_{0.5}$CoO${}_3$ thin films have been studied. The magnetic transition is affected by both strain and finite thickness. We have…
