Growth And Magnetic Properties Of La2NiMnO6Epitaxial Thin Films

Monoclinic (001) and (110)‐oriented La 2 NiMnO 6 films were grown on (001) SrTiO 3 and (001) ( LaAlO 3 ) 0.3 —( SrAl 1/2 Ta 1/2 O 3 ) 0.7 substrates, respectively, by pulsed‐laser deposition. The crystal structures, magnetic properties, and the Raman spectrum have been studied on films with different growth conditions. Analysis of the magnetization, x‐ray diffraction, and the Raman spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that the B‐site cationic ordering, which is sensitive to both growth conditions and the lattice mismatch with the substrate, affects the magnetic properties.
