Thin films of the Lu-Fe-O system were deposited by aerosol
assisted MOCVD on silica glass substrates. Hexagonal h-LuFeO3, garnet
Lu3Fe5O12, perovskite o-LuFeO3 or hematite Fe2O3 phases were obtained,
depending on the thermodynamic deposition conditions or post annealing
temperature. Magnetic measurements confirm the ferromagnetic behaviour
at room temperature of the thin films with garnet phase. An indirect
bandgap of 1.78 eV was measured.
