Abstract
Integration of new spintronic materials with current silicon technology shows great promise in future technology. Here, we demonstrate the possibility of growing textured La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films on silicon substrates with magneto-optical and optical properties comparable to epitaxially grown layers on bulk SrTiO3 (STO).
Growth of LSMO is achieved by a two-dimensional nanosheet (NS) seed layer of Ca2Nb3O10 (CNO) inducing epitaxial stabilization of LSMO films.
