Abstract
Epitaxial (111) Y0.225Sr0.775CoO3−δ (YSCO) thin films were deposited on single crystalline (111) MgO substrates by a pulsed laser deposition method. The YSCO thin film exhibited room temperature ferromagnetism with a remanent magnetization of 1.5×10−5emu. The magnetic force microscopy (MFM) study revealed that the YSCO thin film had a mosaic MFM domain structure. The comparison of domain wall energy for the YSCO and PZT indicates that the large domain wall energy induce the large domain size, though the large magnetization value reduce the magnetic domain size in the case of Co. According to the optical conductivity analysis by spectroscopic ellipsometry, it is inferred that the transition from the intermediate spin state to the high spin state of the YSCO thin film is attributed to the ferromagnetism of the Co4+ ion.
