International audienceWe investigate the suitability of an epitaxial CaTiO3 buffer layer deposited onto (100)Si by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) for the epitaxial integration of thecolossal magnetoresistive material La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 with silicon. The magnetic andelectrical properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films deposited by MBE on CaTiO3-bufferedsilicon (CaTiO3/Si) are compared with those deposited on SrTiO3-buffered silicon(SrTiO3/Si). In addition to possessing a higher Curie temperature and a highermetal-to-insulator transition temperature, the electrical resistivity and 1/ f noise levelat 300 K are reduced by a factor of two in the heterostructure with the CaTiO3 bufferlayer. These results are relevant to device applications of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin filmson silicon substrates
