Abstract 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 (Tc is about 250 K for the LCMO film on an AAO membrane with a pore diameter of 20\,nm. 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.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
