We report the growth of thin (〈100 nm) La–M–Mn–O(M=Ca,Ba,Sr) films by ozone assisted, block-by-block, molecular beam epitaxy on single crystal SrTiO3, and LaAlO3, substrates. The films were characterized by RHEED, high resolution x-ray diffraction, x-ray reflectively, RBS, Ion channeling, SEM, and STM. These films show a very high degree of crystalline perfection as evidenced by very low rocking curve widths (〈0.06 deg), extremely low surface roughness (of the order of one unit cell) and the observation of thickness fringes using x-ray diffraction. Careful magnetic, transport and magnetotransport measurements of these films will be presented. Multilayer structures of La–M–Mn–O and Dy–Ba–Cu–O/La–Sr–Cu–O superconductors have also been fabricated. The effect of interfacial chemistry on the transport properties of such layers and the compatibility issues for the growth of manganate/cuprate superconductor multilayers will be discussed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
