Mixed-valence perovskite manganites (Re 1- x A x MnO 3 where Re = rare earth, A = alkaline earth) provide a unique opportunity to study the relationships between the structure and the magnetotransport properties due to an interplay among charge carriers, magnetic coupling, orbital ordering and structural distortion. This makes these compounds very exciting from both the basic research and from the technological viewpoint. As the technology pursued with these materials requires film growth, extensive studies have been made on materials synthesis, structural and physical characterization and device fabrication. In this article, the results from the different experimental techniques and the effects of the deposition procedure of the manganite thin films are first reviewed. Second, the relation between the structural and the physical properties is mentioned, and the influence of strains discussed. Finally, possible applications of manganite thin films in spin electronics are presented.
