Mn1.56Co0.96Ni0.48O4 thin films have been successfully deposited on Y-Al-O garnet(YAG) single crystal substrate via chemical solution method. X-Ray diffraction shows the films are of single spinel phase. Infrared spectrum characterization indicates the film has an obvious absorption band at 2.5~5μm. Moreover, the resistance-temperature dependence of the film was also studied. Using nearest-neighbor hopping model, we found that the characteristic temperature T0 is about 2530K and the temperature coefficient at 300K is about-3.66%K-1. All these results demonstrate that the MCN films deposited on YAG have potential applications in temperature sensors or near-infrared detectors under extreme conditions.
