Abstract = {{Strain induced anisotropy in the electronic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3
   thin films was investigated by x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Mn
   2p and O 1s edges. Films on (100) SrTiO3 and (100) LaAlO3 substrates
   were grown by pulsed laser deposition with in situ reflection high
   energy electron diffraction diagnostic. At both absorption edges, clear
   features related to different anisotropic lattice strain effects as a
   function of the substrate were observed. On the average a negative
   (positive) linear dichroism was obtained for films grown under in-plane
   tensile (compressive) epitaxial strain conditions. Indeed, the
   structural macroscopic distortion induced by the substrate is
   responsible of the octahedra distortions with the resulting
   stabilization of x(2)-y(2) (3z(2)-r(2)) orbitals. Enhanced linear
   dichroism at the Mn 2p edge in very thin films, only a few unit cells
   thick, is in agreement with a fully strained state which favors the
   formation of orbital ordered phase regions.}},
