Frequently Asked Questions (18)
Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Evidence of weak antilocalization in quantum interference effects of (001) oriented la 0.7 sr 0.3 mno 3 –srruo 3 superlattices" ?
The result stimulates further theoretical and experimental work for fundamental science and technological application as quantum materials.
Q3. What is the effect of the LSMO layer thickness?
As the SRO layer thickness increases, the value of lf ¼ 292A decreases, suggesting the increase of the WAL effect and positive magnetoresistance.
Q4. What is the mechanism for the observed positive MR in the metallic double perovskite?
The other possible mechanism for the observed positive MR in the metallic double perovskite oxides is that the external magnetic field suppresses the long-range antiferromagnetic order to form short-range antiferromagnetic fluctuations, which enhance electronic scattering and lead to giant positive MR.4
Q5. What is the nature of the MR in manganites?
Even though the MR of the individual ferromagnetic perovskite oxide is negative, the positive MR feature is observed due to the structural or magnetic distortion at the thin film or heterostructure interfaces of the perovskite oxides.
Q6. What is the MR(H) of the [20 u:c: SRO?
In addition, the MR(H) of the [20 u:c: SRO/5 u:c: LSMO] 15 superlattice exhibits switching around + 0:3 T, which is close to the coercive field in fielddependent magnetization.
Q7. What is the symmetry of the orthorhombic SRO in the superlattice?
The Raman peaks at 240, 252, and 302 cm 1 of the [20 u:c: LSMO/3 u:c: SRO] 15 superlattice are of Ag symmetry, and the peak at 410 cm 1 is of B2g symmetry of the orthorhombic SRO.
Q8. What is the effect of stabilization of the crystal structure and improvement of transport properties?
The stabilization of the crystal structure and improvement of transport properties could pave the way for new technology for the modern spintronics based devices.
Q9. What is the corresponding value of lf in the superlattice?
As the SRO layer thickness in the superlattice increases to 5 u.c., the value of lf = 292 Å decreases, and positive MR increases confirm the manifestation of WAL by SRO.
Q10. What are the observed (002) satellite peaks?
The observed (002) Bragg’s reflections with four orders of satellite peaks [Figs. 1(a) and 1(b)] on either side of the STO peaks are suggesting the presence of long-range periodicity, epitaxy, and good crystallinity.
Q11. How was the MR of the SRO superlattices grown?
These superlattices were grown at a substrate temperature of 720 °C with oxygen partial pressure of 300 mTorr followed by cooling to room temperature in the presence of oxygen.
Q12. What is the effect of the external magnetic field on the perovskite oxides?
In contrast, the application of the magnetic field on the perovskite oxides decreases the local spin disorder and thus decreases resistivity, which leads to negative MR.5
Q13. What is the occurrence of the single magnon scattering process?
The [20 unit cell (u.c.) LSMO/3 u.c. SRO]×15 superlattice stabilizes in tetragonal symmetry associated with the rhombohedral and orthorhombic structures and demonstrates the occurrence of the single magnon scattering process.
Q14. What is the effect of the low-field WAL in the superlattice?
The observed low-field WAL effect in the superlattice is in contrast to the weak localization effect reported in the LSMO thin films grown on SrTiO3.
Q15. what are the tetragonal structures of the LSMO and SRO?
The pseudocubic lattice parameters of the [20 u:c: LSMO/3 u:c: SRO] 15 superlattices extracted from the RSM can be expressed as the tetragonal structures with the lattice parameters aT ¼ 5:611 A and cT ¼ 7:702A .
Q16. What is the tetragonal phase of the LSMO and SRO?
3. The first-order Raman scattering because of the cubic phase of the STO is not observed as the STO transforms into a tetragonal phase around 110K.
Q17. What is the fit of Eq. 1 to the data?
The best fit of Eq. (1) to ρ(T) of the [20 u:c: SRO/3 u:c: LSMO] 15 superlattice yield p ¼ 1:4 [Fig. 4(b)], which is close to the value observed in several strongly correlated systems such as SrRuO3, Na0:5CoO2, and CaVO3.
Q18. What is the difference between the two superlattices?
The 90° separation between the consecutive peaks in the f-scan confirms that these superlattices and the substrate are of fourfold symmetry with the cube-on-cube epitaxial growth.
