The effects of electric current and magnetic field on the photoconductivity (PC) of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) films have been investigated within a comparative study on LCMO films on an n-type semiconducting Nb-doped SrTiO3 (NSTO) and insulating SrTiO3 (STO) substrates separately. At room temperature, LCMO on NSTO (LCMO/NSTO) was found to show remarkable PC effect than that on STO (LCMO/STO). More attractive is that, compared with that of LCMO/STO, the room-temperature PC of LCMO/NSTO also shows a high sensitivity to the change of current or magnetic field: for LCMO/NSTO under a light illumination with an intensity of 60 mW/cm2, the increment of current yields a decreases of PC at a rate of 7.6%/μA, while an application of magnetic field of 1.2 T can suppress PC by a percentage as high as ∼20%. In contrast, under the same stimulus of current or field, PC of LCMO/STO remains almost unchanged. The phenomena can be explained based on the interface effects correlated with the photocarrier injection, current shu...
