ABSTRACTEpitaxial thin films of SrLaVMoO6 with an ordered double perovskite structure have been grown on (001) and (111) SrTiO3 substrates by magnetron sputtering. The optimized (111) film exhibited a clear (111) diffraction peak, which is a superlattice reflection of double perovskite unite cell, indicating clear B-site ordering. Temperature dependences of resistivity ρ show metallic behavior and transition point at 140~150 K, of which behavior is reminiscent of the electrical properties of materials showing long-range magnetic or antiferromagnetic order. XPS results of the Mo 3d core level spectra are discussed in terms of the B-site ordering and oxygen nonstoichiometry.

Epitaxial thin films of Bi2FeCrO6 (BFCO) have been synthesized by pulsed laser deposition on SrRuO3 on (100)- and (111)-oriented SrTiO3 substrates. Detailed x-ray diffraction and cross-section transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed a double perovskite crystal structure of the BFCO epitaxial films very similar to that of BiFeO3 along with a particularly noteworthy Fe3+/Cr3+ cation ordering along the [111] direction. The films contain no detectable magnetic iron oxide impurities and have the correct cationic average stoichiometry throughout their thickness. They however exhibit a slight modulation in the Fe and Cr compositions forming complementary stripe patterns, suggesting minor local excess or depletion of Fe and Cr. The epitaxial BFCO films exhibit good ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties, in addition to magnetic properties at room temperature, as well as an unexpected crystallographic orientation dependence of their room-temperature magnetic properties. Our results qualitatively confirm the predictions made using the ab initio calculations: the double perovskite structure of BFCO films exhibit a Fe3+/Cr3+ cation ordering and good multiferroic properties, along with the unpredicted existence of magnetic ordering at room temperature.

AbstractEpitaxial thin films of V2O3 were grown on c-axis oriented sapphire substrates by reactive e-beam evaporation. The high orientation and epitaxy is shown by low energy electron and x-ray diffraction. The microstucture of the films was investigated by AFM imaging. The measurements show an island growth mode with a temperature dependent increase of the grain size. At a growth temperature of above 700°C a change of the surface structure is observed, which produces much more structured and irregular shaped crystallites. High temperature growth also causes changes in the electronical properties, due to an increased stress in the films as measured by XRD. The metal-insulator transition (MIT) and the properties of the metallic phase of the films were determined mainly by temperature dependent electrical resistivity measurements. The metallic properties are distorted in films grown at low temperature (T<500°C) probably due to defects, dislocations and grain boundaries. Favorable growth conditions for films showing a single crystal like MIT were found in a narrow temperature range around 550°C. For higher growth temperatures (T>650°C) metallic behavior at high temperatures is suppressed by an in plane tensile stress. The electronic properties of such films are similar to those of chromium doped V2O3. The relation between growth conditions, structural properties and resulting electronic properties is discussed.

The annealing process is an important step common to epitaxial films prepared by chemical solution deposition methods. It is so because the final microstructure of the films can be severely affected by the precise features of the thermal processing. In this work we analyze the structural and magnetic properties of double perovskite La2CoMnO6 and La2NiMnO6 epitaxial thin films prepared by polymer-assisted deposition (PAD) and crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). It is found that samples prepared by RTA have similar values of saturation magnetization and Curie temperature to their counterparts prepared by using conventional thermal annealing (CTA) processes, thus indicating low influence of the heating rates on the B-B’ site cationic ordering of the A2BB’O6 double perovskite structure. However, a deeper analysis of the magnetic behavior suggested some differences in the actual microstructure of the films.
