We report the magnetic and transport properties of SrMnO3n / LaMnO32nm superlattices grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on 100 SrTiO3 with periodicities n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 16. Although the superlattice constituents, LaMnO3 and SrMnO3, are both antiferromagnetic insulators, for small n n2 the superlattices behave like the ferromagnetic conductor La0.67Sr0.33MnO3. As n increases, the magnetic properties become dominated by the LaMnO3 layers, but the electronic transport properties continue to be controlled by the interfaces.

Abstract
We report the magnetic and transport properties of SrMnO3n / LaMnO32nm superlattices grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on 100 SrTiO3 with periodicities n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 16. Although the superlattice constituents, LaMnO3 and SrMnO3, are both antiferromagnetic insulators, for small n n2 the superlattices behave like the ferromagnetic conductor La0.67Sr0.33MnO3. As n increases, the magnetic properties become dominated by the LaMnO3 layers, but the electronic transport properties continue to be controlled by the interfaces.File in questo prodotto:
