Abstract
We present a structural and morphological study on La0.6Y0.07Ca0.33MnO3−δ (LYCMO) thin films deposited by laser ablation onto MgO-buffered silicon wafers using two deposition configurations named on-axis and off-axis. All thin films have been deposited at high temperatures in an oxygen atmosphere. A comparative study between the on-axis and off-axis samples is performed by transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The films are polycrystalline and show a columnar morphology. The off-axis sample shows a better crystalline texture, although slight compositional variations have been found.
