Structural and magnetic properties of epitaxial magnetite thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition

Epitaxial magnetite thin films have been prepared on substrates with small (periclase) and large (sapphire) lattice misfits by pulsed laser deposition. 350 nm thick films on both substrates exhibit nearly bulk saturation magnetization. Films on periclase showed a shift in the Verwey transition towar...

Summary:Epitaxial magnetite thin films have been prepared on substrates with small (periclase) and large (sapphire) lattice misfits by pulsed laser deposition. 350 nm thick films on both substrates exhibit nearly bulk saturation magnetization. Films on periclase showed a shift in the Verwey transition towards lower temperatures most probably due to strain effects.
