Tuning of Transport and Magnetic Properties in Epitaxial LaMnO3+δ Thin Films by J. Chen, L. Hu, W. J. Lu, B. Yuan, K. J. Zhang, J. M. Dai, Y. P. Sun

“…It is found that the transport and magnetic properties of the LaMnO3+δ thin films grown on the LaAlO3 substrates can be tuned by the compressive strain through varying film thickness. And the insulator-metal transition, charge/orbital ordering transition, and paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition are suppressed by the compressive strain. …”
