This paper reports a simple and robust route to stabilize metastable ɛ-Fe2O3 as an epitaxial thin film using a GaFeO3 (GFO) buffer in pulsed laser deposition. The use of an isostructural GFO buffer widens the range of film growth, allowing for stabilization on a range of substrates even with different surface symmetries, such as Al2O3 (0001), SrTiO3 (111), and Y:ZrO2 (100). All films grown on these substrates were c-axis oriented with the characteristic in-plane domain structures. Magnetization of these buffered thin films showed considerable magnetic anisotropy at 350K. In particular, in-plane magnetization was found to be relatively larger in the films grown on the Y:ZrO2 (100) compared to the other cases. Heterostructuring ɛ-Fe2O3 on GFO is promising in the applications of ɛ-Fe2O3 for magnetic and multiferroic devices in that it provides a larger growth window and an effective means to optimize the film properties beyond the simple substitution of Fe with Ga.
