Abstract
The nanocrystalline La0.6Pb0.4MnO3 thin films have been grown on (1 0 0) SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed-laser ablation technique. The atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements show that the films consist of single-crystalline grains of an average size of ~17 nm with c-axis perpendicular to the substrate plane. These nanocrystalline films exhibit an enhanced magnetoresistance of >100% at 1 T in the vicinity of the Curie temperature. Magnetization data suggest that grain boundaries act as tunnel barriers leading to an enhancement in the magnetoresistance.
