Epitaxial double perovskite La2CoMnO6 thin films were grown on top of (001)-STO oriented substrates by a polymer-assisted deposition chemical solution approach. Confirmation of the achievement of full Co/Mn cationic ordering was found by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) measurements; EELS …

Disorder and spatial localization due to thickness reduction allow generating a metal-insulator transition in semimetallic SrIrO3 thin films. Below about 3nm films are insulating with hysteretic I-V curves indicative of resistive switching behavior at room temperature. Current maps allow demonstrating …

The magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic insulating La2Ni1−xMn1+xO6 double perovskite are studied. It is found that Ni/Mn stoichiometric samples always exhibit values of TC and MS far from the optimum ones. In contrast, Ni-deficient samples show excellent magnetic properties. The …
