Here, using perovskite manganite(La0.5Sr0.5)MnO3 as a paradigm, we develop a new pathway to synthesize the epitaxial thin films assisted by an in-situ chemical process, where the oxygen content can be precisely controlled by varying oxidative activity tuned by the atmospheric temperature(Tatm)during the growth. A hidden metal-insulator transition(MIT)emerges due to the phase competition, which is never shown in the phase diagram of this classic manganite. The oxygenmediated interaction between Mn ions together with the change of carrier density might be responsible for this emerging phase, which is compatible with the results of firstprinciple calculations. This work demonstrates that, apart from traditional cation doping, a precise modulation of anion(O2-, S2-, etc.) may provide a new strategy to control phase structures and functionalities of epitaxial compound thin films.展开更多

This method is effective and sophisticated to prepare solid mate- rials, especially the functional complex oxides such as high temperature superconductors, piezoelectrics, dielectrics, etc. However, the chemical reactions cannot be intrinsically con- trolled and integrated at an atomic level in order to achieve the applications of future thin film devices with reduced dimensions [5]. With the desire of designing high-quality products with the micro/nanoscale integration, many pow- erful physical techniques, such as, pulsed-laser deposition (PLD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), sputtering deposi- tion, etc., have experienced enormous development due to their ability of lattice and/or interfacial controls. Using these growth techniques, layer-by-layer deposition (multilayer and/or superlattice) can be achieved, providing us a platform to tune the crystal structures at an atomic level by controlling the interfacial terminations and epitaxial strain, which are absent in their bulk counterparts [6-8]. From this point of view, well-controlled interfacial structures may also provide the solid state reaction at an atomic level during the physical depositions, which provides us an effective way to design the desired products from the chemical bonding reconstruction.展开更多
