摘要: 本文系统地研究了应变EuTiO3-δ (ETO)薄膜的沉积过程、晶体结构和磁性质,该薄膜是通过脉冲激光沉积制备。由于高真空的沉积条件,沉积过程中产生了+2.48%的生长应变。此外通过XRD测试确定了ETO薄膜的外延关系为(002)ETO//(002)STO和[200]ETO//[200]STO。在此张应变的作用下,ETO薄膜在3.6 K附近出现了铁磁转变。并在低于该温度区间,发现了自旋玻璃态的现象。最终确定了低于TC温度条件下磁性主导机理仍是铁磁交换。
Abstract: This paper investigated the preparation, structure, and magnetic behavior of strained EuTiO3-δ (ETO) thin films, which were prepared by pulsed laser deposition under low oxygen pressure. Due to the specific atmosphere, the growth strain can be generated along with the deposition and its value is +2.48%. In addition, the epitaxial relationship is (002)ETO//(002)STO and[200]ETO//[200]STO confirmed via XRD measurement. Under such tension, the ETO films exhibit a ferromagnetic transition around 3.6 K and reenter into a spinglass phase at a lower temperature, while the magnetic behavior is dominated by the ferromagnetic exchange below TC.
