Electrical Properties of Eu2O3 Thin Films

The Binary Rare Earth Oxides

“…In Eu 2 O 3 the conduction is explained by both oxide ionic conduction and electron hopping from Eu 2+ to Eu 3+ ions. 140 The rare earth oxide films of The Binary Rare Earth Oxides Chemical Reviews, 1998, Vol. 98, No.…”

“…In Eu 2 O 3 the conduction is explained by both oxide ionic conduction and electron hopping from Eu 2+ to Eu 3+ ions. 140 The rare earth oxide films of scandium, yttrium, and lanthanum to lutetium were prepared by vacuum evaporation of the rare earth metal as a film followed by oxidation. The oxide films show insulating properties.…”

“…This facilitates the migration via atoms into vacancies, and results in a low activation energy. In Eu 2 O 3 the conduction is explained by both oxide ionic conduction and electron hopping from Eu 2+ to Eu 3+ ions .

Temperature dependent phase transition of EuO on MgO(100)

“…[15][16][17] However, EuO films are difficult to fabricate because they form only under particular growth conditions ͑e.g., oxygen partial pressure and substrate temperature͒, and they are easily changed into Eu 2 O 3 films if the growth conditions are not rigorously maintained. 18,19 In the present study, we investigate the change in polarization ͓P=͑I spin up − I spin down ͒ / ͑I spin up + I spin down ͔͒ and magnetic and electronic characteristics of a EuO film on a MgO͑100͒ surface as a function of temperature using spin resolved photoemission spectroscopy ͑SRPES͒, x-ray absorption spectroscopy ͑XAS͒, and low energy electron diffraction ͑LEED͒.…”
