Resum

In this paper we describe the preparation of high quality epitaxial films of the Sr₄Fe₆O_13±δ compound with intergrowth structure by pulsed laser deposition on single crystal SrTiO ₃(0 0 1) substrates. The dependence of composition, structure and microstructure on the deposition conditions has been studied. The films prepared at the optimum conditions consist of b-axis oriented Sr ₄Fe₆O_13±δ. Texture analysis reveals in-plane alignment with the a- and c-axis oriented along the SrTiO ₃ 〈1 1 0〉 directions. The film-substrate interfaces are well-defined and abrupt at an atomic scale. The films are partially strained due to the epitaxial growth on the SrTiO₃ substrate. The cell parameters of the films are very stable to high temperature annealing either under reducing or oxidizing conditions.
