• This thesis studies the anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR) in electronically
  phase separated La0.7-xPrxCa0.3MnO3 (LPCMO) epitaxial thin films. Different
  Pr doping levels, epitaxial strain, magnetic fields, temperature and two
  dimensional confinement effects have been used to understand this fundamental
  spintronics property in such strongly correlated manganite systems. We
  investigated four major problems associated with the AMR in phase separated
  manganites, including: carrier localization, crossover phenomena, metastability
  and spatial confinement effects. The experimental results obtained for the AMR of phase separated LPCMO films provide new information about the nature and dynamics of the AMR in
  strongly correlated manganite systems, and may lead to new investigations of
  the resistive-switching phenomena in magnetic storage devices and spintronics
