STRUCTURAL, DIELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF EPITAXIAL GROWN YMn0.5Cr0.5O3 THIN FILMS.

YCr_(1-x)MnxO₃ is an intriguing member of the perovskite family, attracting significant interest due to its versatile properties and potential applications in various fields. Epitaxial orthorhombic YMn_0.5Cr_0.5O₃ films are grown on STO substrates by pulsed laser deposition method. Well crystalline with (0 ℓ 0) orientation of YMn_0.5Cr_0.5O₃ films are identified by X-ray diffraction. Field emission scanning electron microscopy used to capture the morphological behavior of crystalline YMn_0.5Cr_0.5O₃ films. Temperature dependent dielectric properties are analyzed thoroughly. The magnetic properties of YMn_0.5Cr_0.5O₃ films are characterized using physical property measurement system. There is a clear magnetic transition observed around 60K for three YMn_0.5Cr_0.5O₃ films. Films deposited at 600oC exhibited high dielectric and magnetic properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
