Abstract
Thin films with properties comparable to bulk single crystals were grown by pulsed laser deposition using a substrate temperature of only 500â¯Â°C. This was achieved by a careful choice of both the oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber and the temperature of the air anneal. The best films were grown on gadolinium gallium garnet substrates but we also report data for films grown on the diamagnetic substrate yttrium aluminium garnet. The films were analysed using X-ray diffraction, near edge X-ray absorption and magnetometry. Our best films had a magnetisation of 143â¯emu/cm3 and a coercive field of â¼1â¯Oe.
