Abstract

The hexagonal $HoMn_{1-x}-Fe_xO_3$(x=0.00, 0.05) thin films were prepared using pulsed laser deposition(PLD) method on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The microstructure and magnetic properties have been studied by x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFH), scanning electron microscope(SEM:), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy(CEMS). From the analysis of the x-ray diffraction patterns, the crystal structure for all films was found to be a hexagonal($P6_3cm$), which was preferentially grown along(110) direction. The lattice constant $c_0$ of the film with x=0.05 was close to that of single crystal, whereas lattice constant $a_0$ with respect to single crystal shows a slight decrease. This difference of lattice parameters between film and single crystal was caused by the lattice mismatch between the film and $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. Conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum of $HoMn_{0.95}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ thin film shows an asymmetry doublet absorption ratio at room temperature, which is due to the oriented direction of crystallographic domains. This is corresponding with analysis of x-ray diffraction. The quadrupole splitting(${\Delta}E_Q$) at room temperature is found to be $1.62{\pm}0.01mm/s$. This large ${\Delta}E_Q$ was caused by asymmetry environment surrounding Fe ion.

Pulsed laser deposition(PLD) 박막 증착법을 이용하여 hexagonal $HoMn_{1-x}-Fe_xO_3$(x=0.0, 0.05) 물질을 박막으로 $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ 기판 위에 증착하였다. 또한 x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscope(SEM), 및 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)를 통하여 박막의 결정학적 및 미세 구조를 분석하였고, conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy(CEMS)를 이용하여 자기적 특성에 관해 연구하였다. 결정구조는 hexagonal 구조로써 space group이 $P6_3cm$로 분석되었고, single crystal과는 달리 (110) 방향으로 우선 배향성을 가지고 증착되었다. $HoMn_{0.95}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ 박막의 경우 single crystal과 비교했을 때 hexagonal unit cell의 $c_0$ 축은 일정하나 $a_0$ 축은 다소 감소함으로 분석되었다. 이는 박막 증착에 사용된 $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ 기판과의 lattice mismatch 때문으로 해석된다. Fe가 미량 치환된 $HoMn_{0.95}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ 박막을 상온에서 CEMS 측정을 수행한 결과, $HoMn_{0.95}^{57}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ 분말의 경우 magnetic $T_N$이 72K 부근이므로, 상온에서 doublet absorption spectrum이 관측되었고, 전기사중극자 분열값(quadrupole splitting; ${\Delta}E_Q$)이 $1.62{\pm}0.01mm/s$로 비교적 큰 값을 가짐을 확인하였다.
