Preparing of La_1/3Sr_2/3FeO₃ targets for sputtering of thin films — •Thomas Breuer, Thomas Brueckel, Joerg Voigt, and Joerg Persson — Peter Gruenberg Institut PGI and Juelich Centre for Neutron Science JCNS, JARA-FIT, Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH, 52425 Juelich, Germany

0pt La_1/3Sr_2/3FeO₃ is a transition metal oxide (TMO) with a perovskite structure. It exhibits strong electronic correlations, visible e.g. in a Verwey metal-insulator transition accompanying the antiferromagnetic phase transition at about T_C=200 K.

While the material has been investigated extensively in bulk form, the aim of the present study is to clarify its properties as thin epitaxial films. We have prepared ceramic sputter targets of La_1/3Sr_2/3FeO₃ in a solid state reaction and characterized them by means of chemical analysis, powder x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements by a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer on PPMS. The material tends to lose oxygen during calcination and sintering at temperatures above 600 K which was detected by thermogravimetric analysis. Significant changes in structure and magnetic response are being observed for oxygen deficits as low as 2 %. Finally, the progress in the preparation and characterization of thin epitaxial films will be reported.
