Abstract:Thin films of the Lu-Fe-O system were deposited by aerosol assisted MOCVD on silica glass substrates. Hexagonal h-LuFeO3, garnet Lu3Fe5O12, perovskite o-LuFeO3 or hematite Fe2O3 phases were obtained, depending on the thermodynamic deposition conditions or post annealing temperature. Magnetic measurements confirm the ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature of the thin films with garnet phase. An indirect bandgap of 1.78 eV was measured.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
