Abstract: La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 - δthin films were deposited using a high-pressure dc-sputtering process. Pure oxygen at a pressure of 3.8 mbar was used as sputtering gas. The films were grown on (001)LaAlO3and (001)SrTiO3substrates at heater temperature of 850° without any annealing treatment. The formation of highlya-axis-oriented films with sharp interface with substrate surface is demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis. Electrical characterization revealed a metal–insulator transition atTMI= 276K, and magnetic characterization showed good magnetic properties with a PM–FM transition atTC≈ 262K.
