High quality La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) film was deposited via a novel pulsed electron deposition technique on SrTiO3(100) single crystal substrate. The micro-bridge with different widths was fabricated by using electron beam lithography (EBL) technique and their transport properties were studied. For the micro-bridges with width of 2 and 1.5 μm,the insulator-to-metal transition temperature (TP) keeps un-changed compared with the film. For the micro-bridges with width of 1 μm,the TP shifts towards the lower temperature by 50 K. When the width decreases down to 500 nm,the insulator-to-metal transition disappears. The magnetoresistance be-havior of these micro-bridges was studied,and the results show that the low field magnetoresistance (LFMR) decreases and the high field magnetoresistances (HFMR) keep almost unchanged as the width of micro-bridge is reduced.

On SrTiO3 single crystal substrate,by using the pulsed electron deposition tech-nique,the high-quality electron doped Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4?δ superconducting film was successfully fabricated. After careful study on the R-T curves of the obtained sam-ples deposited with different substrate temperatures,thicknesses,annealing methods and pulse frequencies,the effects of them on the superconductivity of the films were found,and the reasons were also analyzed. Additionally,by using the same model of the pulsed laser deposition technique,the relation between the target-to-substrate distance and the deposition pressure was drawn out as a quantitative one.
In this paper we report a new method to fabricate nanostructured films, La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 （LCMO） nanostructured films have been fabricated by using pulsed electron beam deposition （PED） on anodized aluminium oxide （AAO） membranes, The magnetic and electronic transport properties are investigated by using the Quantum Design physics properties measurement system （PPMS） and magnetic properties measurement system （MPMS）. The resistance peak temperature （Tp） is about 85 K and the Curie temperature （To） is about 250 K for the LCMO film on an AAO membrane with a pore diameter of 20nm. Large magnetoresistance ratio （MR） is observed near Tp. The MR is as high as 85% under 1 T magnetic field. The great enhancement of MR at low magnetic fields could be attributed to the lattice distortion and the grain boundary that are induced by the nanopores on the AAO membrane.
Cr-doped CdS nanowires were synthesized in large scale through thermal co-evaporation of CdS and metal Cr powders. General morphology, detailed microstructure and optical properties were characterized using various techniques. Devices consisting of individual Cr-doped CdS nanowire were fabricated and they exhibited remarkable rectifying characteristics. Ⅰ-Ⅴ curves of individual Cr-doped CdS nanowire devices demonstrate that the present nanowires are n-type doped and have high conductivity （10.96 Ω^-1cm^-1）, indicating great potential applications in nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices.
