Abstract
The authors investigated the magnetic and ferroelectric properties of hexagonally grown HoMnO3 thin films. The magnetic measurements revealed bulklike magnetic phase transitions with an additional spin-glass-like behavior feature below the Néel temperature. The ferroelectricity in the films was distinctly different from the suggested bulk behavior. Below 40K, the HoMnO3 films showed typical ferroelectric character: their remnant polarization and coercive field values at 20K were 3.7μC∕cm2 and 0.69MV∕cm. Above 40K, however, the films exhibited an unusual antiferroelectriclike behavior, with more pronounced features appearing at higher temperatures. These intriguing physical properties make HoMnO3 films a potential candidate material for numerous future applications.
