The growth of YMn₀.₃₅In₀.₆₅O₃ thin films and their optical and magnetic behavior are reported. The YMn₀.₃₅In₀.₆₅O₃ thin film grows along the (0001) orientation with hexagonal structure similar to YMnO₃ on c-plane sapphire. The film shows paramagnetic behavior in the temperature range measured. The film exhibits a blue color due to...
Epitaxial LaRh₁/₂Mn₁/₂O₃ thin films have been grown on (001)-oriented LaAlO₃ and SrTiO₃ substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The optimized thin film samples are semiconducting and ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature close to 100 K, a coercive field of 1200 Oe, and a saturation magnetization of 1.7μB per formula unit. The...
