We report on experimental and theoretical investigations of the thermal conduction in LaMnO3 (LMO) / SrMnO3 (SMO) epitaxial superlattice structures, grown by metal-organic aerosol deposition (MAD).
The thermal conductivity of our samples is measured with a transient thermoreflectivity setup - a method that uses a pulsed laser to heat the sample whilst a continuous wave laser measures the surface reflectivity (TTR), and thereby the surface temperature in the time domain. A comparison between samples of different periodicities and LMO/SMO-ratios in particular reveals an unexpected behaviour of the contribution of LMO to the thermal conduction: In single LMO films we find a thermal conductivity close to the amorphous limit, whereas when integrating the LMO into a superlattice, its contribution to the conductivity strongly increases. We relate this finding to a structural modification of the LMO layers in the superlattice.
In addition, we compare our findings with theoretical first-principles calculations regarding the structural configuration of the multi-layered system as well as the phononic contributions to the heat transfer. We acknowledge financial support by the DFG within SFB 1073.
