Crystalline domains in epitaxial Y(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O3 thin films grown by PLD on different STO substrates

- Epitaxial films of YNMO were grown on STO(0 0 1), (0 1 1) and (1 1 1).
- Crystalline domains are studied and reported for the first time in this material.
- Epitaxial relationship in YNMO(0 0 1)/STO(0 0 1) is found to be considerably different from previous studies.
- The effect of Ni partial substitution on the crystalline properties of epitaxial YMnO3 is studied and tabulated.
- We report a morphological and crystalline characteristics of ferromagnetic Y(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O3 pervoskite.
