RT Journal Article T1 Synthesis and magnetic properties of manganite thin films on Si by polymer assisted (PAD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) T2 Síntesis y propiedades magnéticas de películas delgadas de manganita sobre Si mediante deposición asistida por polímeros (PAD) y deposición por láser pulsado (PLD) A1 Vila Fungueiriño, José Manuel A1 Rivas Murias, Beatriz A1 Rivadulla Fernández, José Francisco K1 Solution deposition K1 Laser ablation K1 Magnetic properties AB We report the synthesis of polycrystalline films of La1-xCaxMnO3 in Si (111) by Polymer Assisted Deposition (PAD). An aqueous solution polyethyleneimine (PEI) and different metal ions stabilized with EDTA, was spin coated on hydrophilized Si substrates and subsequently annealed under different atmospheres. Homogeneous, dense polycrystalline films are obtained at optimized conditions of 950 °C under flowing O2. The morphology and magnetic properties of the samples are compared with films obtained by Pulsed Laser Deposition.
