Abstract

We have studied interface phase stability of the BaFe₁₂O ₁₉ (BaM) thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on SiC(0001). The films were epitaxially grown with the following crystallographic relation: BaM(0001)∥SiC(0001) and BaM(11-20)∥SiC(11-20). High resolution TEM reveals the existence of two interfacial bands with different structure than BaM. The first band close to SiC is SiO_x while the second has spinel structure and chemically corresponds to Fe₃O₄. These findings suggest that at initial growth stages Fe₃O₄ is more favorable than BaM. Density functional theory modeling of the phase stability of BaM compared to Fe₃O₄ shows that BaM is only stable at high oxygen partial pressures.
