Abstract
Method of preferentially-ordering a thermally sensitive element (50) may comprise the step of forming a first thin film layer of electrically conductive material (75). A thin film layer of thermally sensitive material (80) may be formed on a surface of the first layer of electrically conductive material (75). A second thin film layer of electrically conductive material (85) of lanthanum strontium cobalt oxide (LSCO) may be formed on a surface of the layer of thermally sensitive material (80) opposite the first thin film layer (75). A nucleation layer (87) may be formed in communication with the surface of the layer of thermally sensitive material (80) opposite the first thin film layer (75). The layer of thermally sensitive material (80) may be crystallized beginning at the surface of the thermally sensitive layer (80) in communication with nucleation layer (87). The nucleation layer (87) may be removed.
