Abstract

Epitaxial thin films of Mn3O4 and ZnMn2O4 have been grown hydrothermally on (100) and (111) MgAl2O4 substrates. Film growth was characterized as a function of pH, concentration, and time and thin film X-ray diffraction revealed that the resulting films are an epitaxial continuation of the underlying spinel lattice. Reduction of these films to MnO occurred topotactically and in the case of ZnMn2O4, resulted in mesopores aligned along the <100> directions. As the films maintain an epitaxial relationship with the substrate, the mesopores are aligned macroscopically within a single crystal lattice.
