Hexagonal YbFeO3 thin-film heterostructures grown by pulsed laser deposition

ORAL

Abstract


Multiferroic materials has drawn significant attention because of its potential application in information processing and storage. Hexagonal ferrites (h-RFeO3, R=Y, Dy-Lu), as identified multiferroic materials, have recently been predicted magnetoelectric effect. To verify theoretical predictions, exploring the suitable substrates and bottom electrodes for the growth of hexagonal ferrites is a big challenge. In our study, we have successfully fabricated high-quality YbFeO3 thin films on the STO (111) substrate with La0.3Sr0.7MnO3 bottom electrode grown by pulsed laser deposition system. The crystal structure is characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the electron transport properties are investigated from 20 K to 300 K. Our experiments in YbFeO3 multiferroic thin films pave the way for the further investigation of magnetoelectric effects in the hexagonal ferrites.
