Synthesis of composite structures on the basis of GaBO3 and FeBO3 trigonal crystals

Film of iron borate FeBO3 is of a great interest as a model object for various scientific studies and is a promising material for practical applications in different branches of experimental science and engineering. Thin magnetic films of FeBO3 on GaBO3 single crystal substrate were prepared by a liquid phase epitaxy route. In order to observe a mechanism of film formation we have carried out optical microscopy studies. X-ray diffraction analysis has confirmed the existence of the FeBO3 layer on the GaBO3 substrate.
