Vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films with ordered two phases, grown epitaxially on
substrates, have attracted tremendous interest in the past decade. These unique …

The perovskite manganites with generic formula RE 1− x AE x MnO 3 (RE= rare earth, AE=
Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb) have drawn considerable attention, especially following the discovery of …

Magnetic oxides show a variety of extrinsic magnetotransport phenomena: grain-boundary,
tunnelling and domain-wall magnetoresistance. In view of these phenomena the role of …

We review and critique the recent developments on multifunctional oxide materials, which
are gaining a good deal of interest. Recongnizing that this is a vast area, the focus of this …

Tunable and enhanced low‐field magnetoresistance (LFMR) is observed in epitaxial (La0.
7Sr0. 3MnO3) 0.5:(ZnO) 0.5 (LSMO: ZnO) self‐assembled vertically aligned nanocomposite …

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) plays a critical role in the development of
spintronics, thereby demanding new strategies to control PMA. Here we demonstrate a …

Abstract Manganese oxides (R, A) MnO 3 (R= La, Y, Bi or rare earth metal, A= non-trivalent
doping element) have been one focus of research for two outstanding properties:(i) …

Mixed-valence perovskite manganites (Re 1-x A x MnO 3 where Re= rare earth, A= alkaline
earth) provide a unique opportunity to study the relationships between the structure and the …

Electrical currents flowing in ferromagnetic materials are spin-polarised as a result of the
spin-dependent band structure. When the spatial direction of the polarisation changes, in a …

Materials engineering on the nanoscale by precise control of growth parameters can lead to
many unusual and fascinating physical properties. The development of pulsed laser …
