Abstract
Thin films of perovskite Ruthenates of the general formula ARuO3 (A = Ca and Sr) are versatile electrical conductors for viable oxide electronics. They are also scientifically intriguing, as they exhibit non-trivial electromagnetic ground states depending on the A-site element. Among them, realization of the cubic perovskite (3C) BaRuO3 thin film has been a challenge so far, because the 3C phase is metastable with the largest formation energy among the various polymorph phases of BaRuO3. In this study, we successfully prepared 3C BaRuO3 thin films employing epitaxial stabilization. The 3C BaRuO3 thin films show itinerant ferromagnetism with a transition temperature of ~48 K and a non-Fermi liquid phase. The epitaxial stabilization of the 3C BaRuO3 further enabled us to make a standard comparison of perovskite Ruthenates thin films, thereby establishing the importance of the Ru-O orbital hybridization in understanding the itinerant magnetic system.
