Abstract
X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy were used to examine the crystal structure features of ultrathin (3–50 nm) yttrium orthoferrite films, obtained by magnetron sputtering of stoichiometric composition target on α-Al2O3 substrates with orientation. The morphology and crystal structure of the films differ significantly depending on their thickness. In the thinnest films, several phases are formed, including yttrium orthoferrite with an orthorhombic crystal lattice (o-YFeO3), yttrium hexaferrite with a hexagonal crystal lattice (h-YFeO3), iron-yttrium garnet (Y3Fe5O12), and iron oxides such as hematite and maghemite. The study examines the local composition and determines the orientation ratios between the crystallized phases and the substrate. The films with a thickness greater than 10 nm predominantly exhibit a highly textured phase of o-YFeO3 with a small admixture of iron-yttrium garnet.
期刊介绍：
The Physics of Metals and Metallography (Fizika metallov i metallovedenie) was founded in 1955 by the USSR Academy of Sciences. Its scientific profile involves the theory of metals and metal alloys, their electrical and magnetic properties, as well as their structure, phase transformations, and principal mechanical properties. The journal also publishes scientific reviews and papers written by experts involved in fundamental, application, and technological studies. The annual volume of publications amounts to some 250 papers submitted from 100 leading national scientific institutions.
