Abstract:Here we present our results of structural, optical, and magnetic measurements of Znj_ ,MnO thin films. These films were grown epitaxially on (0001) sapphire substrates by using pulsed laser deposition technique. The maximum Mn content (x=0.36) is found to be much higher than allowed by thermal equlibrium limit (x-0.13) due to the non-equilibrium nature of the pulsed laser deposition. All the films investigated here were found to be single phase with <0001> orientation epitaxial relationship. A linear increase … Show more
