Rare-earth-manganite-based multiferroic materials are of great interest because of their strong coupling of magnetic and electronic systems, resulting in cross-controlled magnetoelectric properties. Hexagonal TbMnO3 (h-TMO) films with room temperature ferroelectricity (FE) is of particular importance. Bulk TMO displays orthorhombic structure and exhibits FE with low polarization 0.06 μC/cm2 and ferromagnetism (FM) well below 100K. However, stabilization of hexagonal structure in TMO thin films by epitaxy strain was shown to result in a much larger room temperature polarization (8 μC/cm2). We optimized the growth of h-TMO thin films on YSZ(111) substrates by Metalorganic Aerosol Deposition (MAD) by varying the precursor ratio, substrate temperature, growth and cooling rate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms the hexagonal structure of the films, showing a smooth surface with RMS ~0.3nm (AFM). Furthermore, optical spectroscopy and second harmonic generation (SHG) were measured to characterize the ferroelectricity of h-TbMnO3.
