Magnetic properties of multiferroic hexagonal LuFeO$_3$ thin film

ORAL

Abstract

We present magnetic properties of multiferroic hexagonal LuFeO$_{3}$ single crystalline thin films grown on Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$(0001) substrates using~ pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique. Neutron diffraction and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements suggest that the hexagonal LuFeO$_{3}$ thin film displays an antiferromagnetic order above room temperature and a second magnetic phase transition at lower temperature. The possible magnetic structures of this system are discussed.
