Growth of different phases of yttrium manganese oxide thin films by pulsed laser deposition

Various phases of yttrium manganese oxide (YMO) thin films have been synthesized on different substrates from a single target of h-YMnO{sub 3}. It is observed that the phase stability and crystallinity of YMO thin films depend on the substrate used and oxygen partial pressure (OPP). (110) oriented and polycrystalline growth of h-YMnO{sub 3} are observed on the Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} (0001) and NGO (110) substrates respectively, when grown in OPP {approx_equal} 10{sup -6} Torr. While for similar OPP value, growth of mixed phases (h-YMnO{sub 3} and o-YMn{sub 2}O{sub 5}) is observed on Si (001) substrate. Oriented growth of O-YMn{sub 2}O{sub 5} phase film on Si (001) substrate is observed first time, when deposited at OPP value of 225 and 350 mTorr. +3 and mixed oxidation states (+3 and +4) of Mn were confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in pure YMnO{sub 3} phase and YMn{sub 2}O{sub 5} phase respectively.
