Epitaxial strain manipulation of the cluster glass state in LaMnO films.

As a new-type magnetic state, the cluster glass state in manganite is arousing considerable attention due to its important theoretical value and extensive application prospects in condensed matter physics and spintronics. Due to the complex magnetic interactions, the cluster glass state is difficult to form and regulate in single films. Studies report a new phenomenon that epitaxial strain can regulate the formation of the cluster glass state in LaMnO (LMO) films.
