Competing strain relaxation mechanisms in epitaxially grown Pr0.48Ca0.52MnO3 on SrTiO3
We investigated the impact of strain relaxation on the current transport of Pr0.48Ca0.52MnO3 (PCMO) thin films grown epitaxially on SrTiO3 single crystals by pulsed laser deposition. The incorporation of misfit dislocations and the formation of cracks are identified as competing mechani...
