摘要:

体相Pr $_{1-x}$ Ca $_{x}$ MnO $_3$具有丰富的相图,其物理性能具有很高的可调性,引起了人们对该材料的基础研究和应用前景的广泛关注。重要的是,作为强相关效应的结果,电子和晶格的自由度是有力地耦合。因此,这是有争议的,这种体相图是否可以转移到固有应变外延薄膜。本文研究了离子束溅射薄膜中$x=0.1$的结构从正交到准立方的转变,并通过原位加热纳米束电子衍射来跟踪晶格常数的温度依赖性,指出了与相应体系统的差异。此外,它表明,控制加热过程中的环境,即防止氧损失,是至关重要的,以避免不可逆的结构变化,这是一个普遍的问题,含有挥发性元素的化合物在非平衡条件下。

英文摘要:

The rich phase diagram of bulk Pr$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_3$ resulting in a high tunability of physical properties gave rise to various studies related to fundamental research as well as prospective applications of the material. Importantly, as a consequence of strong correlation effects, electronic and lattice degrees of freedom are vigorously coupled. Hence, it is debatable whether such bulk phase diagrams can be transferred to inherently strained epitaxial thin films. In this paper, the structural orthorhombic to pseudo-cubic transition for $x=0.1$ is studied in ion-beam sputtered thin films and point out differences to the respective bulk system by employing in-situ heating nano-beam electron diffraction to follow the temperature dependence of lattice constants. In addition, it is demonstrated that controlling the environment during heating, i.e. preventing oxygen loss, is crucial in order to avoid irreversible structural changes, which is expected to be a general problem of compounds containing volatile elements under non-equilibrium conditions.
