Abstract
We report phase-sensitive microwave studies of thin epitaxial manganite La1-x Srx Mn O3 films on SrTi O3 substrate. The measurements were performed in the temperature range of 80-330 K using a contactless microwave scanning probe operating at 26 GHz with the aim of comparing dc resistivity and microwave resistivity. We find that the dc and the microwave resistivity of the La0.8 Sr0.2 Mn O3 are almost the same, while for the La0.7 Sr0.3 Mn O3 they are different above 200 K. Our analysis of different mechanisms of this discrepancy, together with our measurement of the ferromagnetic resonance on the same samples, yields the film inhomogeneity on the microscopic scale as the most probable explanation.
