The grown films with different Sr (0.05 \u2264 x \u2264 0.3) and Mn excess (y > 1) concentrations were nanostructured with vertically aligned column-shaped crystallites spread perpendicular to the film plane. It was found that microstructure, resistivity, and magnetoresistive properties of the films strongly depend on the strontium and manganese concentration. All films (including low Sr content) exhibit a metal\u2013insulator transition typical for manganites at a certain temperature, Tm. The Tm vs. Sr content dependence for films with a constant Mn amount has maxima that shift to lower Sr values with the increase in Mn excess in the films. Moreover, the higher the Mn excess concentration in the films, the higher the Tm value obtained. The highest Tm values (270 K) were observed for nanostructured LSMO films with x = 0.17\u20130.18 and y = 1.15, while the highest low-field magnetoresistance (0.8% at 50 mT) at room temperature (290 K) was achieved for x = 0.3 and y = 1.15. The obtained low-field MR values were relatively high in comparison to those published in the literature results for lanthanum manganite films prepared without additional insulating oxide phases. It can be caused by high Curie temperature (383 K), high saturation magnetization at room temperature (870 emu\/cm3), and relatively thin grain boundaries. The obtained results allow to fabricate CMR sensors for low magnetic field measurement at room temperature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22114004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T12:41:33Z","timestamp":1653482493000},"page":"4004","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Enhancement of Room-Temperature Low-Field Magnetoresistance in Nanostructured Lanthanum Manganite Films for Magnetic Sensor Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0912-4563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nerija","family":"Zurauskiene","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"},{"name":"Faculty of Electronics, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 03227 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6552-0862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Voitech","family":"Stankevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"},{"name":"Faculty of Electronics, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 03227 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1815-357X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Skirmantas","family":"Kersulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"given":"Milita","family":"Vagner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Plausinaitiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"},{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences, Vilnius University, 03225 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8864-100X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorunas","family":"Dobilas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"given":"Remigijus","family":"Vasiliauskas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6152-4612","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martynas","family":"Skapas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"given":"Mykola","family":"Koliada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, 10257 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0824-5120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaroslaw","family":"Pietosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}]},{"given":"Andrzej","family":"Wisniewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Magnetoresistive sensor development roadmap (non-recording applications)","volume":"55","author":"Zheng","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
