In this study, we successfully prepared RFe2O4 (R = Lu, Tm) thin films epitaxially grown on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ, ZrO2 stabilized with 10 mol% Y2O3) (111) substrate, as demonstrated by X-ray diffraction patterns illustrated in Fig.1. Although there are several reports on the synthesis of LuFe2O4 epitaxial thin film[2],[3], this is the first report on the fabrication of epitaxial TmFe2O4 thin film to the best of our knowledge. Also, we observed interesting structure of LuFe2O4 thin film by utilizing HAADF-STEM measurements. At the interface between the substrate and the thin film, two atomic layers of hexagonal-LuFeO3, and Lu2Fe3O7 phases are formed, and above these layers LuFe2O4 thin film is grown. Temperature and magnetic field dependence of magnetization was explored by using SQUID. The temperature dependence of magnetization seems to show that the magnetization takes non-zero value even above room temperature in contrast to the bulk single-crystalline phase. The result may be related to the higher magnetic phase transition temperature observed for (LuFeO3)n-(LuFe2O4)m superlattice.
