We have used a three term polynomial expression to approximate electrical and magneto transport properties of epitaxial La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_{3} (LSMO) thin films in wide temperature range (2-350 K) and in magnetic field up to 9 T. The first term is determined by a low temperature (T<20 K) residual resistivity ρ_{0} and this term is magnetic field independent. The second term describes the electron-electron scattering in LSMO, it shows ~ T^{2} dependence of resistivity up to temperature about 160 K and depends only weakly on magnetic field. The third term, proportional to ~ T^{4.5} dependence, describes a significant increase of resistivity in temperature range 160-350 K and due to its sensitivity to applied magnetic field it is possible to approximate temperature dependence of magnetorestivity below 350 K.

Thin films of mercury based superconductors were prepared on the R-plane sapphire with a CeO2 buffer layer using a two step process involving the deposition of the Hg-free precursor and ex situ mercuration in the sealed quartz tube. For the thin film preparation, a method with no contact between the mercury source and the precursor film was used for mercuration. We studied the influence of the basic parameters of the mercuration (annealing time, temperature and partial pressure of the mercury) regarding the composition and superconducting properties of prepared Hg-based films to determine appropriate conditions for this mercuration method. We found out that an increased partial pressure of mercury inhibited the creation of the parasitic Re-based phase and supported the crystallization of the superconducting phase. The advantage of this mercuration method is higher reproducibility as well as its capability to prepare high quality thin large areas films.

DC NanoSQUID from Nb Thin Films

EN
We have prepared Nb thin film (thickness 80-100 nm) nanoSQUID with two symmetrically placed nanosized constrictions in superconducting loop. The nanoSQUID was prepared in two steps: at first a microsized SQUID was prepared and in the second step nanosized constrictions of the width of 120 nm in the SQUID loop were created by a focused ion beam technique. We studied the electrical and magnetic properties. From the obtained results, SQUID and constriction dimensions, the spin sensitivity was estimated to be about 50 μ_{B} Hz^{-1/2}. Further improvement of spin sensitivity is possible by lowering the SQUID and constriction dimensions.

LSMO Films with Increased Temperature of MI Transition

Epitaxial La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_{3} thin films with a significant increased temperature of metal-insulator transition (~450 K) are prepared on single crystal MgO (001) substrates using different deposition techniques - a dc magnetron sputtering or a pulsed laser deposition. The crystalline perfection of the films is characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (rocking curve measurements and reciprocal space maps). As a consequence of different methods of the film preparation we show various types of the LSMO crystal structure. Our results indicate that all the LSMO layers grown on the MgO substrate with a lattice misfit of about 8% are relaxed.

Samples containing the ferromagnetic manganite La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO₃ (LSMO) and high temperature superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O₇ (YBCO) single thin film areas and YBCO/LSMO bilayer area were prepared on LaAlO₃ (LAO) substrates and were used for investigation of the electrical properties of the interface. The measurements in the YBCO/LSMO interface demonstrated "negative" values of the resistance. A good interpretation of the obtained results was performed in the framework of a 1D model, which took into account the resistance of the interface R_{if} and the temperature dependence of the resistance of YBCO and LSMO films. It was shown that the effect of "negative" resistance arises because of the redistribution of the measuring electrical current in the interphase area if the resistance of the interface R_{if} is small in comparison with the resistances of the neighboring electrodes.

Epitaxial manganite La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO₃ (LSMO) layers, with a thickness of 20-50 nm, are prepared on single crystal (001) SrTiO₃ (STO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. Structural characterization (composition analysis, surface morphology), investigated by the Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, reveals the growth of stoichiometric LSMO films with a smooth surface (root-mean-square value of 0.21-1.6 nm). The prepared LSMO films possess high Curie temperature ( ≈ 412 K), low room temperature resistivity (1-2 mΩ cm) and maximum of temperature coefficient of resistivity TCR = 2.7% K¯¹ at 321 K.
