Abstract: We have investigated the effects of the strain induced by ferroelectric poling (or the converse piezoelectric effect) on the transport properties of LaMnO[sub 3+δ] and CaMnO₃ thin films grown on ferroelectric 0.67Pb(Mg[sub 1/3]Nb[sub 2/3])O₃-0.33PbTiO₃ single-crystal substrates. The ferroelectric poling of the substrate gives rise to a reduction in the in-plane tensile strain of the LaMnO[sub 3+δ] film, which results in a significant decrease in the resistance and increase in the insulator-to-metal transition temperature T[sub P] of the film. The ferroelectric poling also leads to opposite effects on the magnetoresistance (MR) below and above T[sub P], namely, MR is reduced for T<T[sub P] while MR is enhanced for T>T[sub P]. These strain effects are explained in terms of coexisting phases whose volume fractions are modified as a result of the reduction in the Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion due to ferroelectric poling. An investigation of the effects of the strain induced by the converse piezoelectric effect on the resistance of the LaMnO[sub 3+δ] and CaMnO₃ films shows that the resistance-strain coefficients (ΔR/R)/(Δc[sub film]/c[sub film]) of the LaMnO[sub 3+δ] film is much larger than those of the CaMnO₃ film. This result may imply that the strain-induced modification of the electronic bandwidth alone cannot account for the large (ΔR/R)/(Δc[sub film]/c[sub film]) observed in the LaMnO[sub 3+δ] film, and highlights that the strong coupling of charge carriers to JT distortion is crucial for understanding the effects of the substrate-induced strain in manganite thin films.
