Abstract

We report the transmittance (T) and the pump-probe transmittance change (ΔT) of Nd 0.5Sr 0.5MnO 3 (NSMO) thin films grown on SrTiO 3(STO)(100) and STO(110) substrates in 1.3-1.7 eV range at room temperature. The strain of NSMO was isotropic on STO(100) and anisotropic on STO(110). Both T and ΔT showed no polarization dependence in NSMO/STO(100) but the intensity of T and ΔT was anisotropic in NSMO/STO(110). Also ΔT showed sharp exponential decay with increasing time delay between the pump and probe pulse. The short time decay behaviour (≲0.3ps) showed no significant polarization direction and substrate dependence, which indicates that the carrier-carrier scattering rate is not sensitive to the strain state in NSMO.
