Phase-pure, stoichiometric, unstrained, epitaxial (001)-oriented EuTiO{sub 3} thin films have been grown on (001) SrTiO{sub 3} substrates by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy. Magnetization measurements show antiferromagnetic behavior with T{sub N}=5.5 K, similar to bulk EuTiO{sub 3}. Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements reveal that EuTiO{sub 3} films have a direct optical band gap of 0.93{+-}0.07 eV.
