Abstract

The magnetic and transport properties of as-deposited and long-aged La 0.8Ca0.2MnO3-δ films have been investigated in a wide temperature range. The x-ray diffraction data have shown separation of the film into two crystalline phases of the cubic and rhombohedral symmetry with different oxygen contents of δ≃0.08 and 0.16, respectively, after a half-year aging at room temperature in air. Both phases testify two different electronic (metal-insulator) and magnetic transitions with similar maximum values of magnetoresistance. The possible mechanism for such a type of structural transition in the aged manganite thin films is discussed.
