Abstract

The deposition of epitaxial thin films of BiMnO ₃ on single-crystal substrates of (100)-oriented SrTiO ₃ by pulsed-laser deposition was described. These films were deposited using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system equipped with a KrF excimer laser (248 nm, Lambda Physik EMG103MSC) in an on-axis geometry. The structural analysis of epitaxial thin films by X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the films were monoclinic and twinned with two dominant orientation relationships. The collection of X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns using a Picker four-circle X-ray diffractometer with CuK _α radiation and a graphite monochromator was also discussed.
