In La0.7Sr0.3MnO(3-δ) (LSMO), the topotactic phase transition from the Perovskite (PV) phase to the layered oxygen-vacancy-ordered Brownmillerite (BM) phase can be triggered by deoxygenation. We realized this phase transition in both a strained LSMO thin film system and bulk-like unstrained LSMO powder system via assisted thermal vacuum annealing. For thin film, A metal-to-insulator and simultaneously a ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic transition is found. For powder, the evolution of crystal and spin structure at different oxygen-deficient states from PV to BM is determined using neutron diffraction.
