Superexchange and iron valence control by off-stoichiometry in yttrium iron garnet thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition

Journal Article Dumont, Y ; Keller, N ; Popova, E ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Controlled off-stoichiometric single phase polycrystalline yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition, adjusting the oxygen partial pressure P{sub O2} between 5 and 400 mTorr. Atomic stoichiometry by RBS shows an oxygen deficiency for P{sub O2}<P{sub stoich} and iron and yttrium deficiency for P{sub O2}>P{sub stoich}. P{sub stoich}=30 mTorr refers to films showing magnetic and structural properties of the bulk stoichiometric YIG. Curie temperature T{sub c} and saturation magnetization 4{pi}Ms decreased for P{sub O2}<P{sub stoich}, whereas a new part of the YIG phase diagram is explored for P{sub O2}>P{sub stoich}: Increase of Tc (up tomore »« less

Growth control of stoichiometry in LaMnO3 epitaxial thin films by pulsed laser deposition

Journal Article Marton, Zsolt ; Seo, Sung Seok A ; Egami, Takeshi ; ... - Journal of Crystal Growth

We have studied structural, magnetic, and optical transport properties of LaMnO{sub 3} (LMO) thin films grown on SrTiO{sub 3}. While the stoichiometric LMO is an insulating antiferromagnet, it tends to be a ferromagnetic insulator when grown as thin films. By exploring the majority of growth parameters, we have found that the bulk-like electronic and magnetic phases can be stabilized by growing thin films under reducing atmospheres and by using more energetic laser processes. These conditions are found to reduce the La deficiency in the film resulting in the greatly improved cation stoichiometry. Since oxides are prone to reduce the oxygenmore »« less

Research Update: Stoichiometry controlled oxide thin film growth by pulsed laser deposition

Journal Article Groenen, Rik ; Smit, Jasper ; Orsel, Kasper ; ... - APL Materials

The oxidation of species in the plasma plume during pulsed laser deposition controls both the stoichiometry as well as the growth kinetics of the deposited SrTiO{sub 3} thin films, instead of the commonly assumed mass distribution in the plasma plume and the kinetic energy of the arriving species. It was observed by X-ray diffraction that SrTiO{sub 3} stoichiometry depends on the composition of the background gas during deposition, where in a relative small pressure range between 10{sup −2} mbars and 10{sup −1} mbars oxygen partial pressure, the resulting film becomes fully stoichiometric. Furthermore, upon increasing the oxygen (partial) pressure, themore »« less

Structure property relationships in gallium oxide thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition [Structure property relationships in Ga₂O₃ thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition]

Journal Article Garten, Lauren M. ; Zakutayev, Andriy ; Perkins, John D. ; ... - MRS Communications

Beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃) is of increasing interest to the optoelectronic community for transparent conductor and power electronic applications. Considerable variability exists in the literature on the growth and doping of Ga₂O₃ films, especially as a function of growth approach, temperature, and oxygen partial pressure. Here pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was used to grow high-quality β-Ga₂O₃ films on (0001) sapphire and (–201) Ga₂O₃ single crystals and to explore the growth, stability, and dopability of these films as function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. As a result, there is a strong temperature dependence to the phase formation, morphology, and electronic propertiesmore » of β-Ga₂O₃ from 350 to 550 °C.« less

Stoichiometry of LaAlO{sub 3} films grown on SrTiO{sub 3} by pulsed laser deposition

Journal Article Golalikhani, M. ; Lei, Q. Y. ; Xi, X. X. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We have studied the stoichiometry of epitaxial LaAlO{sub 3} thin films on SrTiO{sub 3} substrate grown by pulsed laser deposition as a function of laser energy density and oxygen pressure during the film growth. Both x-ray diffraction ({theta}-2{theta} scan and reciprocal space mapping) and transmission electron microscopy (geometric phase analysis) revealed a change of lattice constant in the film with the distance from the substrate. Combined with composition analysis using x-ray fluorescence we found that the nominal unit-cell volume expanded when the LaAlO{sub 3} film was La-rich, but remained near the bulk value when the film was La-poor or stoichiometric.more »« less
