Reversible structural transition in epitaxial manganite film.
A reversible structural transition of an epitaxial La(2/3)Sr(1/3)MnO3 film deposited on a LaAlO3 substrate has been investigated by means of in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, combined with image and diffraction calculations. We observe that the crystallographic symmetry of the film can be lowered via electron beam irradiation, leading to a rhombo...
متن کاملNucleation at the first order phase transition in MnAs nanodisks
The first-order phase transition near 40◦C in as-grown thin epitaxial MnAs films prepared by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(001) and nanometer-scale disks fabricated from the same films is studied. The disks are found to exhibit a pronounced hysteresis in the temperature curve of the phase composition, i.e. supercooling and overheating take place in the disks whereas they are far less in the sa...
متن کاملLattice distortion effects on the magnetostructural phase transition of MnAs.
We present a systematic experimental and theoretical study of the first-order phase transition of epitaxially grown MnAs thin films under biaxial tensile stress. Our results give direct information on the dependence of the phase-transition temperature of MnAs films on the lattice parameters. We demonstrate that an increase of the lattice constant in the hexagonal plane raises the phase-transiti...
متن کاملDepth resolved lattice-charge coupling in epitaxial BiFeO3 thin film
For epitaxial films, a critical thickness (tc) can create a phenomenological interface between a strained bottom layer and a relaxed top layer. Here, we present an experimental report of how the tc in BiFeO3 thin films acts as a boundary to determine the crystalline phase, ferroelectricity, and piezoelectricity in 60 nm thick BiFeO3/SrRuO3/SrTiO3 substrate. We found larger Fe cation displacemen...
متن کاملStructural phase transition in epitaxial perovskite films
Three different film systems have been systematically investigated to understand the effects of strain and substrate constraint on the phase transitions of perovskite films. In SrTiO3 films, the phase transition temperature Tc was determined by monitoring the superlattice peaks associated with rotations of TiO6 octahedra. It is found that Tc depends on both SrTiO3 film thickness and SrRuO3 buff...
