Abstract: It is known that the electric and magnetic properties of typical double-exchange materials La_<1-x>Sr_xMnO_<3-y>(LSMO) are strongly affected by oxygen nonstoichiometry y, as well as by divalent ion doping level x. In the present study, we fabricated LSMO (x=0.4) thin films on SrTiO_3 (STO) (001) and LaAlO_3 (LAO) (001) under various pressures of oxygen ambient Po_2, and evaluated their oxygen content 3−y using non-Rutherford elastic resonance spectroscopy. The change of their electric and magnetic properties was also measured and discussed. It was revealed that the oxygen content 3−y does not increase monotonically as Po_2 increases. Curie temperature T_C and insulator-metal transition temperature T_IM were correlated with 3−y for the films on STO. The film on LAO of a quite high Po_2 showed ferromagnetism and a metallic conductivity, unlike the films of lower Po_2's. The ferromagnetism is attributed to c/a axis ratio closer to that of the bulk.
