Details

The search for magnetic refrigeration prototypes materials that can operate at room temperature got triggered with the discovery of the giant magnetocaloric effect because it opened up the possibility to use green energy for cooling systems. The magnetocaloric effect has been investigated in several heterostructure systems. The heterostructure with fascinating interface functionalities provides new avenues to test the scope of these strain modulated effects. The strain and interface effects of a series of heterostructures consisting of ferromagnetic transition metal oxides, (LSMO) and (SRO) has been studied. The rhombohedral exhibits an insulator-to-metal-like transition in electronic transport and ferromagnetic ordering with a Curie temperature of in its bulk form. While the orthorhombic exhibits metal-like electronic transport and ferromagnetic ordering with a Curie temperature of . The pseudomorphic growth is realized in the (111) oriented SRO-LSMO superlattices, in contrast to the superlattice with reverse stacking order as LSMO-SRO, which relaxes strain. The strained superlattices show an enhanced magnetocaloric effect compared to the relaxed superlattices. The crystal symmetry of the LSMO in these superlattices is partially or fully reduced from the rhombohedral-to-orthorhombic structure, as evidenced by the Raman scattering. The observed electronic and magnetic properties in these (111) oriented
