Abstract

The magnetic and electrical transport properties of single crystalline La1-x-yPryCaxMnO3 (x approximate to 0.42, y approximate to 0.40) thin films (similar to 140 nm) deposited on (1 1 0) oriented LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 substrates have been investigated. The magnetotransport properties of these films exhibit substrate dependent phase separation and a crossover from the high temperature antiferromagnetic-charge ordered insulator (AFM-COI) phase (T > T-c to strain glass (T < T-g). At intermediate temperatures (T-g <= T <= T-c) dynamical liquid having prominent thermal-magneto-resistive hysteresis dominates in the cooling cycle while in the warming cycle it is preceded by ferromagnetic metal (FMM) phase. Magnetic fields required to drive AFM-COI to FMM phase transition are higher than required for the strain glass to FMM transformation. The magneto-electric transitions and temperature span of the distinct magnetic regimes are sensitive to the thermal cycling and substrate induced strain.
