Abstract
Polarized Raman scattering by phonons is used to characterize thin films prepared by laser ablation of a lanthanum manganese oxide target. It was found that in the temperature range from 6 K to 300 K phonon spectra of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 films exhibit observable differences from those in bulk materials (microcrystalline ceramics and single crystals). A significant difference was found in the spectra of as-grown films compared to those annealed in oxygen at 800 degrees C. The observed Raman peaks and their linewidths exhibit an irregular temperature dependence near Tc. A correlation of Raman data with magnetization of the sample was also found.
