Abstract

In this paper, the epitaxial hexagonal LuFeO3 (h-LuFeO3) thin films with c-axis-oriented single phase, smooth surface were grown on YSZ (111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition method. Furthermore, a structural distortion of increased lattice constant of c is found in the epitaxial h-LuFeO3 thin films. Moreover, the epitaxial h-LuFeO3 thin films show room-temperature ferromagnetism. The coercive field and remnant magnetization of the epitaxial h-LuFeO3 thin film decrease with the increase in the test temperature from 50 to 300 K. The study would be of benefit to the room-temperature single-phase multiferroic materials.
