Abstract

Highly epitaxial LaBaCo2O5+δ thin films are successfully fabricated and annealed in different ambient conditions. The LaBaCo2O5+δ thin films under O2 and N2 annealing atmosphere are c-axis oriented with the interface relationship of [100]LBCO//[100]LAO and (001)LBCO//(001)LAO. Annealing the film in N2 ambient significantly increases the resistivity and magnetoresistance comparing to the films annealed in O2 ambient. The magnetoresistance after annealing in N2 is almost more than twice of the magnetoresistance after annealing in O2. The result revealed that the electrical properties of the film are highly influenced by annealing atmosphere, indicating that the physical properties can be controlled by adjusting the post annealing atmosphere.
