Resistivity and magnetisation measurements were done with bulk
and thin-film samples of . Bulk samples showed an antiferromagnetic
insulating ground state as expected for this composition, whereas thin films
demonstrated a ferromagnetic metallic ground state. This effect is attributed
to the film adhesion to the substrate which prevents the lattice distortions
necessary for the charge and antiferromagnetic ordering that occur in the
bulk samples.
