| La 1-x MnO 3 films grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique on r-plane cut Al 2 O 3 substrates were investigated. The change of the optical response over the La 1-x MnO 3 /Al 2 O 3 sample surface was investigated along with the temperature dependence of magnetization. The mostly pronounced difference in the spectra of dielectric function occurred in the region of the d-d transitions of Mn-ions. The changes in the optical spectra and magnetic properties were correlated to the structural features of thin film. |
