Abstract

We document the magnetotransport properties of multicomponent La0.6Pb0.4Mn0.8Ru0.2O3 oxide thin films deposited using Pulsed Electron Deposition. This is a model composition in this series, which shows adequate hole transport aided by the presence of both Mn4+ and Ru5+ ions with similar t2gand eg parentage. The optimized metal to insulator transition temperature (Tmit) of the film has been found to be ~298 K and the magnetoresistance (—MR%) ratio of about —65% near the Tmit was observed for the La0.6Pb0.4Mn0.8Ru0.2O3 thin films. High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) studies reveal a good epitaxial growth along the (0 0 1) direction on LaAlO3 (LAO) substrate, with the width of the rocking curves (ω scans) <0.6°.
