High resolution electron microscopy, energy-loss spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation have been used to demonstrate that, under appropriate growth conditions, stoichiometric, and fully oxidized thin films with long-range order of Ni2+ and Mn4+ ions can be obtained, despite the presence of randomly distributed dissimilar cations Bi, La at the A-site. This ordering leads to Ni2+<br>O<br>Mn4+ ferromagnetic interactions and its preservation in thin films is key for implementation of these biferroic materials in practical devices.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Institute of Physics , 2010Pel·lícules finesMaterials ferromagnèticsFerromagnetismeFerroelectricitatThin filmsFerromagnetic materialsFerromagnetismFerroelectricityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article5843842012-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
