Popis: Temperature (T) dependent microwave absorption measurements are performed on La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) epitaxial thin films of thickness 100 and 200 nm in an electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer operating in X-band. The resonant absorption peak is monitored for out-of-plane ( H⊥) and in-plane ( H∥) dc magnetic field ( H) as the system goes through magnetic ordering. These data suggest a resilient transformation to the ferromagnetic (FM) phase in the vicinity of the Curie temperature (TC), indicative of a phase separation, which is dominant in the thinner film. The saturation magnetization is calculated from SQUID magnetometry on the same film. A pronounced zero-field absorption is seen in H∥ geometry displaying anomalous growth in 100 nm film at T
