(0k0) oriented films of the magnetoelectric material Ga2�xFexO3 (0.8 # x # 1.4) have been grown by
pulsed laser deposition on various substrates: the non conducting yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ)
(001) and the conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) buffered YSZ(001) and single crystalline Pt(111)
buffered YSZ(111). The films are ferrimagnetic for all compositions and their Curie temperature
increases with x. For x ¼ 1.4, their Curie temperature is above room temperature (370 K) and their
room temperature saturation magnetization is 90 emu/cm3. The effect of the conducting substrates on
both the crystalline and electrical properties of the films has been studied. The single crystalline Pt(111)
buffered YSZ(111) substrates allow substantial improvements both on the crystallographic and
electrical points of view with a reduction of the number of in-plane variants down to 3 and a decrease of
the leakage current down to 10�5 A at 10 V. This work opens new perspectives for the integration of
a room temperature ferrimagnetic magnetoelectric material in spintronic devices.
Introduction
Magnetoelectric materials, thanks to the coupling existing
between their magnetic and electric properties, allow the
manipulation of magnetization by an electric field. Such mate-
rials currently receive considerable interest for they open new
perspectives in terms of memory devices. Indeed, a magneto-
electric memory would combine the best of both FeRAM and
MRAM worlds.1 At the present time, the development of
magnetoelectric memories appears to be limited by the scarcity
of magnetoelectric materials and even more by the scarcity of
magnetoelectric materials presenting a magnetic order at room
temperature. BiFeO3 (BFO) is the only material considered so far
in the literature presenting both a magnetoelectric coupling and
a magnetic order at room temperature. The magnetoelectric
manipulation of magnetization has recently been proved exper-
imentally possible at room temperature with this ferroelectric
antiferromagnet.2 However, since the magnetic order is antifer-
romagnetic, the actual use of BFO requires the use of an extra
layer to which it is magnetically coupled. This makes the fabri-
cation of devices more complicated and the device itself subject
to failure. It is therefore essential to make efforts in developing
magnetoelectric materials presenting a non zero magnetization at
room temperature. With this aim in view, we have considered
gallium ferrite compounds Ga2�xFexO3 (0.8 # x # 1.4) (GFO)
with great interest. It indeed appears as the perfect alternative

material to BFO in magnetoelectric memories: it is ferrimagnetic
above room temperature for x ¼ 1.43 and pyroelectric with
a strong magnetoelectric coupling.4,5 Bulk GFO adopts an
orthorhombic structure, crystallizing in the space group Pc21n
with a ¼ 0.87512 � 0.00008 nm, b ¼ 0.93993 � 0.00003 nm and
c ¼ 0.50806 � 0.00002 nm.6 The Ga3+ and Fe3+ cations are
distributed on four types of sites labeled Fe1, Fe2, Ga1 and Ga2.
The Ga1 site is tetrahedral and mainly occupied by Ga3+ cations.
The three other sites are octahedral and can be occupied by both
Fe3+ and Ga3+ cations. The electric polarization in GFO is
observed along b and may be due to either the distortion of the
Ga1 tetrahedra6 or to the non compensated displacements of the
Fe1 and Fe2 octahedra centers along b.5 Due to the different
number of Fe3+ cations at Fe1 sites on the one hand, and at
Fe2 and Ga2 sites on the other hand, the antiferromagnetic coupling
between these sites results in an overall ferrimagnetic behavior along
the c axis with, for x ¼ 1, a Curie temperature of 240 K and a low
temperature spontaneous moment of 136 emu/cm3.7
Although the bulk properties have been well established, GFO
has been seldom studied in thin films. Kundaliya et al.8 have
reported the elaboration of oriented polycrystalline GFO thin
films by pulsed laser deposition on non conducting yttrium-
stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates. Sun et al.9 reported the
preparation of GFO on conducting (111) SrTiO3 : Nb (STON)
substrates. But the large lattice mismatch between GFO and
STON (ca. 8%) leads to a poor crystallographic quality of the
elaborated films.
We report here on the pulsed laser deposition of GFO (0k0)
oriented thin films with a restricted number of in-plane variants.
First, we show that thin films of high crystalline quality can be
obtained through the optimization of the experimental deposi-
tion conditions (temperature, oxidizing deposition pressure).
Second, we demonstrate that it is possible to observe ferrimag-
netism at room temperature in thin films by tuning the iron to

The possibility to elaborate high crystalline quality thin films on
a crystallographically matching conducting electrode is
addressed in the third part. This last point is of high importance
when it comes to the electrical characterization of the films.

Experimental
Films have been elaborated using a KrF excimer laser (l¼ 248 nm)
with a 10 Hz repetition rate and a fluence of 1 J cm�2. The
Ga2�xFexO3 (0.8 < x < 1.4) targets were obtained by sintering
a pellet of corresponding mixtures of high purity Ga2O3 (99.99%,
Fluka A.G.) and Fe2O3 (99%, Prolabo) powders at 1400 �C for
24 h. The commercially available YSZ substrates (Crystal
GmbH) did not undergo any cleaning process prior to use. The
buffer indium tin oxide (ITO) conducting layer (70 nm) was
deposited from a sintered In2O3:SnO2 (90:10 wt%) target under
7.10�5 mbar O2 : N2 pressure at 80 �C on YSZ (001) substrates.
The films were annealed in situ at 600 �C under the same partial
pressure for 2 h. The deposition of the single crystalline Pt(111)
electrode (25 nm) on YSZ(111) substrates has been described
elsewhere by the authors.10 The GFO depositions (200 nm) were
performed exploring a wide range of substrate temperatures
(700–900 �C) and reactive gas partial pressures (0.2–1 mbar
O2 : N2). After the deposition, the samples were cooled to room
temperature under the gas deposition pressure. The Ga/Fe ratio
was checked by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX)
coupled to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (JEOL
6700F). The roughness of the films was quantified by atomic
force microscopy (Digital Instruments Dimension 3100 AFM).
The measurements were performed at a scan rate of 0.5 Hz with
a 125 mm long tapping mode Nanosensors Si cantilever having
a force constant of 42 N/m and a resonance frequency of
300 kHz. The structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction
through q–2q scans and rocking curves using a Siemens D5000
diffractometer equipped with a monochromatic copper radiation
(Ka1 ¼ 0.154056 nm). Phi-scans and reciprocal space mappings
were performed using a Panalytical X’Pert Pro MRD diffrac-
tometer, also equipped with a monochromatic copper radiation
(Ka1 ¼ 0.154056 nm). The magnetic properties were studied
using a superconducting quantum interference device magne-
tometer (SQUID MPMS XL, Quantum Design).
Results and discussion
Growth of stoichiometric GaFeO3 on YSZ (001): optimization of
the deposition conditions
Growth of stoichiometric GaFeO3 on YSZ (001) has been per-
formed in a 1 mbar reactive gas pressure, varying the deposition
temperature between 700 �C and 900 �C. The q–2q mode X-ray
diffraction diagrams of these films are shown in Fig. 1a. All the
films exhibit a pure b-axis growth of GFO. The increase of the
peaks’ sharpness with the deposition temperature shows that
the higher the deposition temperature, the higher the degree of
crystallisation. When the reactive gas partial pressure is
decreased, Fe3+ reduces into Fe2+ and a parasitic phase corre-
sponding to the (001) oriented cubic magnetite Fe3O4 appears in
the films.13

The optimal deposition conditions of GFO on YSZ(001)
appear to be at 900 �C under 1 mbar O2 : N2 gas pressure. In
these conditions, we have shown11 that the films present an
epitaxial growth along the [010] axis and 6 in-plane variants
located every 30�. The different orientations of the GFO
variants can be understood when considering the different
matching possibilities between the GFO and YSZ lattices:13

This explains the existence of the six GFO variants located every
30�. The magnetic properties of the films are close to those of the
bulk with an out-of-plane [010] hard direction and a Curie
temperature of ca. 200 K.3
Growth of Ga2�xFexO3 on YSZ (001): shifting the Curie
temperature above room temperature by tuning the Ga to Fe
ratio
Ga2�xFexO3 thins films (0.8 < x < 1.4) were deposited on YSZ
(001) substrates at 900 �C under a 1 mbar O2 : N2 pressure. The
quantifications resulting from the EDX analyses are summarized
in Table 1. They show a perfect matching between the observed
and nominal Fe/Ga ratios.
The q–2q X-ray diffraction patterns of the films deposited
directly on YSZ (001) (Fig. 2a) demonstrate that the GFO
orthorhombic structure is conserved for all considered x values.
Pure b-axis growth of Ga2�xFexO3 layer is observed for all
x values and no parasitic phase is observed. The rocking curve
around the GFO (040) peak exhibits a FWHM of 0.5� for all
films. As shown by F scans of the GFO {062} planes, the 30�
periodicity already observed for x ¼ 1 is still present for all

studied x. Reciprocal lattice maps of the GFO thin films were
performed around reflections {062} and {570} (Fig. 3) for all
studied compositions. These measurements, combined to the
observation of the {0k0} in the q–2q mode, allow us to determine
the lattice parameters (Table 2). The isotropic increase of the
lattice parameters is in total agreement with a study performed
on the bulk.5 This increase is mainly due to the difference in ionic
radii between Fe3+ and Ga3+ ions, respectively 65 and 62 pm.
Magnetization measurements were performed on 3 � 3 mm2
samples of Ga2�xFexO3 (200 nm)/YSZ films. As was already
observed for the x ¼ 1 sample,8 the films present a strong
anisotropy, the out-of-plane direction (GFO b axis) being a hard
magnetization direction. The six crystallographic variants sepa-
rated by only 30�, result in the absence of in-plane anisotropy.
The in-plane magnetization versus temperature measurements
(Fig. 4a), performed for all films in a 200 Oe applied magnetic field,
revealed the increase of the Curie temperature with x (Table 3).
A Curie temperature superior to room temperature was obtained
for x ¼ 1.4 (TC ¼ 370 K). The hysteresis cycles were measured at
5 K for all samples and shown only for the x¼ 1.4 composition in
Fig. 4b. The saturation magnetization values are in perfect
agreement with the values calculated (Table 3) when considering
the Fe3+ magnetic moments and occupancies of the Ga1, Ga2, Fe1
and Fe2 sites observed by Arima et al. by neutron diffraction
measurements on bulk single crystals.5 One can thus consider
8878 | J. Mater. Chem., 2009, 19, 8876–8880
that, in the elaborated thin films as in single crystals, the Ga1 site
is almost exempt of Fe, while the Fe1 and Fe2 sites are prefer-
entially filled with Fe. The amount of Fe in the Ga2 site increases
with x. The in-plane coercive field reaches the relatively high
value of about 3200 Oe at 5 K for x ¼ 1.4. A hysteresis cycle is
still observed when performing M-H measurements on the
x ¼ 1.4 sample at room temperature, as awaited from the Curie
temperature of 370 K for this composition (Fig. 4a). The
observed saturation magnetization is of 90 emu/cm3 and the
coercive field of ca. 600 Oe at 300 K.
The bulk-like behaviour of the GFO thin films, and especially
this room temperature ferrimagnetic character of the Ga2�xFexO3
thin films, allows great hopes for potential uses in electronics.

Growth of GaFeO3 on a conducting bottom electrode: towards
the electric characterization
Since the GFO b axis (electric polarisation axis) is pointing out of
plane for depositions on YSZ (001) substrates, the films’ electric
polarisation may be measured in a transverse configuration. For
that purpose, GFO films must be grown on a conducting bottom
electrode. Because of the rather unusual GFO cell parameters, an
adequate bottom electrode with the right matching parameters is
difficult to find. Such an electrode is needed to keep the b-axis
growth of high crystalline quality GFO. Two different con-
ducting bottom electrodes which offer small lattice mismatch
have been chosen: ITO (001) buffered YSZ (001) and Pt (111)
buffered YSZ (111), for which the lattice mismatch is 0.4% and
4.9%, respectively.13 We have optimized the deposition condi-
tions of both the ITO and Pt electrodes in order to obtain ultra-
flat single crystalline layers. The conditions for the growth of the
single crystalline Pt (111) conducting electrodes on YSZ (111) are
described elsewhere.10 No parasitic phase is observed in the q–2q
X-ray diffraction patterns of the films deposited on any of these
different bottom conducting electrodes. The pure b-axis growth

such electrodes has been observed by atomic force microscopy.
Fig. 6 shows the AFM characterization of the GaFeO3/Pt(111)/
YSZ(111) film, as representative of all the studied samples. The
root mean square (rms) value of the roughness is not significantly
increased by the presence of an underlying conducting electrode,
and kept to a sufficiently low value (ca. 1.6 nm) to allow
a potential future insertion of the stack into multilayered devices.

ITO buffered YSZ(001) and Pt(111)/YSZ(111), respectively.
Since the b-axis growth of the GFO films is maintained on the
conducting electrodes and results in an out of plane polar b axis,3
it is possible to measure the electric polarization by simply
depositing 300 mm diameter Pt dots on top of the films.
Fig. 7 shows the I–V characteristics of GFO thin films of
constant thicknesses (200 nm) deposited on ITO buffered
YSZ(001) and Pt(111)/YSZ(111) electrodes. It clearly shows the
influence of the bottom electrode on the measured leakage
current. The ITO bottom electrode allows good crystallization of
the GFO films and the conservation of the six GFO in-plane
variants. However the leakage currents measured with that
electrode are rather high. The GFO thin films deposited on single
crystalline Pt(111)/YSZ(111) electrodes exhibit excellent crys-
tallization and the number of GFO in-plane variants is reduced
from six to three. While the ITO(001) surface is cubic, the
hexagonal symmetry exhibited by Pt(111) surface results in the
reduction of the matching possibilities. The measured leakage
current on this latter electrode decreases by 4 orders of magni-
tude in comparison to the use of an ITO bottom electrode
(Fig. 7). High leakage is responsible for artifacts in the
measurement of polarization–electric field (P–E) loops resulting
in cigar-shaped loops that are misinterpreted as ferroelectric
loops.12 Growth on a single crystalline Pt(111) electrode there-
fore leads to substantial improvement of both the crystalline
quality and the dielectric properties of the GFO films.
Conclusions
The optimal elaboration conditions for the deposition of
epitaxial Ga2�xFexO3 (0.8 # x # 1.4) have been determined.
High crystalline quality (FWHM ¼ 0.5�), b-axis oriented GFO
thin films were obtained for a high substrate temperature
(900 �C) and oxidizing atmosphere pressure (PO2:N2¼ 1 mbar).
The variation of the Ga/Fe atomic ratio allowed the elaboration
8880 | J. Mater. Chem., 2009, 19, 8876–8880
of room temperature ferrimagnetic thin films. Ga0.6Fe1.4O3 thin
films present a Curie temperature of 370 K and their room
temperature saturation magnetization is of 90 emu/cm3. The
films were grown on different conducting bottom electrodes in
order to allow their electrical characterization. Growth on
a single crystalline Pt(111) electrode greatly reduces both the
number of GFO in-plane crystallographic variants (divided by 2)
and the electrical leaky behavior of the GFO films (a leakage
current of 10�5 A is observed at 10 V). In conclusion we have
obtained highly crystalline, perfectly (0k0) oriented GFO thin
films, showing ferrimagnetism at room temperature, on a con-
ducting bottom electrode. This opens wide perspectives for this
attracting room temperature magnetoelectric material in the field
of the magnetoelectric memories.
