Preparation, structural and magnetic characterisation of RF-sputtered La1−xNaxMnO3±δ thin films manganites†
Abstract
In this paper we report about the synthesis and characterisation of the structure and magnetic properties of sodium doped LaMnO3 thin films prepared by means of RF-magnetron sputtering. The synthesis was realised at two different substrate temperatures (500 and 700 °C) and with different gas chamber compositions. The role of oxygen content variation has been checked by
