Abstract
Multiferroic hexagonal HoMnO 3/YSZ(1 1 1) films with a thickness of ⩽1 μm have been grown by pulsed laser deposition. Conventional X-ray diffraction and pole figure measurement indicate that the film is epitaxially grown without secondary phase or misorientation. Magnetization measurements reveal some differences in comparison with a single crystal. These differences are possibly related to the larger a and c lattice parameters of the film which are likely to alter the bond lengths and, thus, the magnetic superexchange interactions. A substantial change of the complex Ho 3+ magnetic ordering below 6 K is observed.
