DLI-CVD growth of lithium ferrite is investigated by using Li(acac) and Fe(acac)3 as the<br />

metal organic precursors. Different from the deposition of nickel ferrite, lithium ferrite films<br />

grown on MgAl2O4(100) are much rougher and do not show any crystalline features for<br />

deposition at 500˚C and 600˚C. Spinel crystalline phases have been found for the deposition at<br />

700˚C and 800˚C. However, more than one orientation are present for deposition at 800˚C.<br />

Comparatively, lithium ferrite films deposited on MgO(100) exhibits single crystal quality and<br />

much smoother surface for the deposition temperature range of 500˚C to 800˚C. The smaller<br />

lattice mismatch between MgO and Nickel ferrite can be the principal reason. The narrowest in<br />

plane FMR line width ~368 Oe has been found for the films deposited at 600˚C. With suitable<br />

optimization of the vaporization and film deposition conditions, excellent quality ferrite films<br />

can be grown at a relatively high rate using DLI-CVD.<br />
