【 摘 要 】

Mn K-edge fluorescence data are presented for thin-film samples (3000 Angstrom) of colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) La0.67Ca0.33MnO3: as deposited, and post annealed at 1000 and 1200 K. The local distortion is analyzed in terms of three contributions: static, phonon, and an extra, temperature-dependent, polaron term. The polaron distortion is very small for the as-deposited sample and increases with the annealing temperature. In contrast, the static distortion in the samples decreases with the annealing temperature. Although the local structure of the as-deposited sample shows very little temperature dependence, the change in resistivity with temperature is the largest of these three thin-film samples. The as-deposited sample also has the highest magnetoresistance, which indicates some other mechanism may also contribute to the transport properties of CMR samples. We also discuss the relationship between local distortion and the magnetization of the sample.
