Typical grain sizes started at 10--15 nm, increasing to 20--25 nm by 750°C. For films deposited on Si(100), magnetoresistance was observed in specimens heat treated at 700°C and 750°C, and for platinized-Si(100), 650°C, 700°C, and 750°C. Magnetoresistive response improved with heat-treatment temperature for the more refractory La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 composition.
