- Abstract
- We investigated thin La0.7Sr0.3MnO3-SrTiO3 heterostructures, where the band alignment is engineered by a variation of La/Sr stoichiometry only at the interface. In thin films, the engineered interface leads to an enhancement of the reversed spin configuration that mimics bulk behavior. Microscopically, this enhancement is closely connected with an increased magnetic anisotropy as well as intercoupling between an e(g) orbital reconstruction and a corresponding anisotropic lattice fluctuation. Furthermore, a reentrant-type behavior, triggered by this intercoupling, is observed in the remanent spin state. This microscopic perspective leads to insights on developing new strategies for maintaining bulk-like properties even in very thin La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures.
