Abstract

Ferromagnetic and perovskite-like thin films (< 1 micron) of La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3+delta) have been routinely prepared by heat treatment of an amorphous La Ca Mn precursor. The precursor was electrodeposited cathodically in the absence of oxygen and water onto polished silver substrates from a non-aqueous solution of the components’ nitrates. Analysis by X-Ray diffraction and SQUID magnetometry shows these materials exhibit the appropriate structural and magnetic phases indicative of Colossal Magnetoresistance.
