We have investigated the effects of the strain induced by ferroelectric poling (or the converse piezoelectric effect) on the transport properties of LaMnO3+delta and CaMnO3 thin films grown on ferroelectric 0.67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.33PbTiO(3) single-crystal substrates. The ferroelectric poling of the substrate gives rise to a reduction in the in-plane tensile strain of the LaMnO3+delta film, which results in a significant decrease in the resistance and increase in the insulator-to-metal transition temperature T-P of the film. The ferroelectric poling also leads to opposite effects on the magnetoresistance (MR) below and above T-P, namely, MR is reduced for T < T-P while MR is enhanced for T > T-P. These strain effects are explained in terms of coexisting phases whose volume fractions are modified as a result of the reduction in the Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion due to ferroelectric poling. An investigation of the effects of the strain induced by the converse piezoelectric effect on the resistance of the LaMnO3+delta and CaMnO3 films shows that the resistance-strain coefficients (Delta R/R)/(Delta c(film)/c(film)) of the LaMnO3+delta film is much larger than those of the CaMnO3 film. This result may imply that the strain-induced modification of the electronic bandwidth alone cannot account for the large (Delta R/R)/(Delta c(film)/c(film)) observed in the LaMnO3+delta film, and highlights that the strong coupling of charge carriers to JT distortion is crucial for understanding the effects of the substrate-induced strain in manganite thin films.
