摘要:

在SrTiO $_3$单晶衬底上生长了不同厚度、不同CeO $_2$相偏析程度和不同氧缺陷程度的LaPDMATHABMM CePDMATHABMN MnO $_3$薄膜,比较研究了它们的光谱和温度依赖的光电导(PC)以及光激发下的磁电阻(MR)行为。虽然生长的薄膜是不敏感的光激发,氧还原似乎是一种有效的方式来降低膜电阻,但膜厚度被发现发挥次要作用。然而,从PC的光谱行为的评估和在照明下LCeMO/衬底样品与裸衬底的MR的比较,我们发现光电导数据不仅反映了来自(i)膜中的光生载流子和(ii)从光电导衬底注入的载流子的贡献(如从早期的作品得出的结论),而且(iii)一个决定性的平行光电导的SrTiO $_3$基板。此外,也通过分析MR特性,在具有最高程度的CeO $_2$偏析和氧缺乏的样品中意外发生的强电阻效应也可以归因于SrTiO $_3$衬底的电阻。结果表明,一个关键的反思,并可能重新解释以前的几个光电导和电阻的锰氧化物薄膜的SrTiO $_3$的调查。

英文摘要:

La$_{0.7}$Ce$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ thin films of different thicknesses, degrees of CeO$_2$-phase segregation and oxygen deficiency, grown on SrTiO$_3$ single crystal substrates, were comparatively investigated with respect to both their spectral and temperature-dependent photoconductivity (PC) and their magnetoresistance (MR) behaviour under photoexcitation. While as-grown films were insensitive to optical excitation, oxygen reduction appeared to be an effective way to decrease the film resistance, but the film thickness was found to play a minor role. However, from the evaluation of the spectral behaviour of the PC and the comparison of the MR of the LCeMO/substrate-samples with a bare substrate under illumination we find that the photoconductivity data reflects not only contributions from (i) photogenerated charge carriers in the film and (ii) carriers injected from the photoconductive substrate (as concluded from earlier works), but also (iii) a decisive parallel photoconduction in the SrTiO$_3$ substrate. Furthermore -- also by analyzing the MR characteristics -- the unexpected occurence of a strong electroresistive effect in the sample with the highest degree of CeO$_2$ segregation and oxygen deficiency could be attributed to the electroresistance of the SrTiO$_3$ substrate as well. The results suggest a critical reconsideration and possibly a reinterpretation of several previous photoconductivity and electroresistance investigations of manganite thin films on SrTiO$_3$.
