Abstract

The functional oxide thin films of electrochromic WO3-x and colossal magnetoresistive La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 were prepared by a KrF excimer pulsed laser deposition technique. Optical transparency and electrical conductivity of the WO3-x film were changed by the oxygen content in the lattice. Triclinic, tetragonal and amorphous WO3-x films were prepared by adjusting the oxygen atmosphere during the deposition. We revealed the relationship between the crystal structure and the gas sensing property of the films. The triclinic WO3-x film (1 μm) showed the high sensitivity to NO (60 ppm) gas at an operating temperature of 150°C. The colossal magnetoresistive La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 thin film having the MR ratio of 15 % (H=7 kG) was deposited under the conditions of the laser energy density of 2 J/cm2 (5Hz), substrate temperature of 850°C and oxygen pressure of 500 mTorr. The magnetic sensor composing of the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 thin film responded to the AC magnetic field (1 kHz).
