Research Abstract |
Artificial superlattices composed of two perovskite-type manganites with slightly different chemical compositions were fabricated by depositing each composition alternatively in a nanometer-scale. The two compositions have contrastive electronic phases, a ferromagnetic-metal and antiferromagnetic- insulator. It was revealed that the superlattices are in phase-coexisting state from transport and magnetic properties, optical spectra, and results of synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The resistivity and magnetization of the superlattice could be continuously tuned by a magnetic field or electric field as a result of the displacement of the electronic phase boundaries by the external fields.
