Samarium orthoferrite, SmFeO3 (SFO), is a multifunctional material with promised applications. In this paper, SFO thin films were prepared by sol–gel method onto a quartz substrate at different annealing temperatures (T = 700, 750, 800 and 850 °C) and onto LaNiO3 (LNO) buffered quartz substrate usin...
