The crystalline structure, anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), and magnetization of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO3 (LSMO/STO) superlattices grown by an rf sputtering system are systematically analyzed to study the spin polarization of manganite at interfaces. A perfectly epitaxial growth with sharp interfaces between LSMO and STO layers is confirmed by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image and the x-ray diffraction. The presence of positive low-temperature AMR in LSMO/STO superlattices with thinner LSMO layers or thicker STO layers implies that two bands of majority and minority character contribute to the transport properties, leading to a reduced spin polarization. Furthermore, the magnetization of superlattices follows the T3/2 law at low temperatures and decays more quickly as the thickness ratio dSTO/dLSMO increases, corresponding to a reduced exchange coupling. The results clearly show that the spin polarization is strongly correlated with the influence of interface-induced strain on the structure.
