%X Thin films of double-perovskite structural LaBaCo2O5.5+δ were epitaxially grown on (110) NdGaO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Microstructural studies by high-resolution X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the films have an excellent quality epitaxial structure. In addition, strong in-plane anisotropic strains were measured. Electrical transport properties of the films were characterized by an ultra-high-vacuum four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy system at different temperatures. It was found that the anisotropic in-plane strain can significantly tune the values of film resistance up to 590%.
