Flexible perovskite manganite oxide films with excellent low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) effect were achieved by depositing textured LSMO:ZnO nanocomposite film on a flexible mica substrate with a ZnO buffer using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Compared to the film without buffer, the film with a ZnO buffer exhibited higher saturation magnetization, higher Curie temperature and higher magnetoresistance value at low temperature and high magnetic field. Furthermore, the nanocomposite thin films showed good mechanical stretchability and stability.
The integration of functional oxide thin films on flexible substrates is critical for their application in flexible electronics. Here, to achieve flexible perovskite manganite oxide film with excellent low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) effect, textured La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO):ZnO nanocomposite film was deposited on a flexible mica substrate with ZnO buffer using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Compared to the polycrystalline LSMO:ZnO nanocomposite film directly deposited on mica without buffer, the LSMO:ZnO/ZnO/mica sample exhibits larger saturation magnetization (164 emu/cm(3)) and higher Curie temperature (similar to 319 K), which results from the crystallinity and strain in the LSMO phase. In addition, the LSMO:ZnO/ZnO/mica film presents a high MR value of similar to 39% at 10 K under 1 T. Furthermore, the good mechanical stretchability and property stability of the nanocomposite thin films have been demonstrated with mechanical bending.
