Thin films of disordered hexaborides CaB6 and SrB6 deposited by pulsed-laser deposition on MgO (100) or Al2O3 (001) substrates are ferromagnetic. A typical room-temperature moment per unit area of substrate is 350μBnm−2, with the largest values being found for CaB6 on Al2O3. Lattice defects are the likely origin of the exotic, high-temperature magnetism. The moment, which is present in films as thin as 12nm, appears to reside in an interface layer whose polarization is approximately 0.4Tesla.
