A　comparative　study　of　the　crystalline　structure,　magnetic　properties,　and　transport　properties　of　LSMO　films　grown　on　(100)-,　(110)-,　and　(111)　LaAlO3(LAO)　substrates　was　carried　out.　Using　atomic　force　microscopy,　round,　rectangle,　and　dot　surface　morphologies　were　observed　in　(100)-,　(110)-,　and　(111)-oriented　LSMO　films,　respectively.　Electrical　and　magnetic　characterizations　were　performed　on　LSMO　films　of　different　orientation　to　provide　evidence　for　the　effect　of　strain　on　the　magnetotransport　properties.　The　(111)　-oriented　LSMO　film　has　higher　saturation　magnetization　and　lower　resistance　compared　with　the　(100)-　and　(110)-oriented　LSMO　films,　which　results　from　the　smaller　elastic　deformation　due　to　the　larger　elastic　modulus　along　the　＜　111　＞　crystallographic　direction.
