| We report novel Raman measurements made on Pr 0.5 Ca 0.5 MnO 3 thin films grown on SrTiO 3 and LaAlO 3 (PCMO/STO and PCMO/LAO, respectively). The measurements were performed for a temperature range 78K <T<295K. Different scattering polarizations (xx, xz, x'x', and x'z') have been selected for certain temperatures in order to make the assignment of the modes, appearing in the Raman spectra. X-ray diffraction measurements have shown that the PCMO/STO film is [010]-oriented and the PCMO/LAO film is [101]-oriented due to the lattice mismatch. Close to the transition temperature to the charge ordered state, T CO , an increase in relative intensities of the high energy modes has been observed with decreasing temperature. |
