Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We describe in detail a method by which to establish the magnetic anisotropy of thin ferromagnetic films on strongly paramagnetic substrates that are slightly anisotropic. The film that we consider is composed of the much studied manganite LaCaMnO and the substrate is NdGaO, a good lattice match. Below a Curie temperature T of 260 K it was found, using a vibrating sample magnetometer, that 72±3 nm LaCaMnO films grown epitaxially by pulsed laser deposition on untwinned orthorhombic NdGaO (001) substrates exhibit uniaxial anisotropy with K=(3.6 ±0.1)×10 erg cm. The easy direction is along [110] of the pseudocubic unit cell, i.e., diagonal to the O-Mn-O bond directions and parallel to the side of the actual unit cell which is orthorhombic. We attribute an 11±4% loss of the low temperature moment to the proximity of the paramagnetic substrate rather than to stress. It is argued that stress is minimal such that the observed anisotropy must be magnetocrystalline. Both the reduction in moment and the anisotropy must be taken into account when designing thin film experiments. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
