The magnetic and transport properties of magnetite (Fe3O4) films grown on isostructural substrates (MgAl2O4, MgGa2O4, and CoGa2O4), with varying degrees of lattice mismatches (3.8%, -1.4%, and -0.8%, respectively), have been investigated. A significant reduction in the density of antiphase boundary defects is observed for the Fe3O4 films grown under optimal process conditions on smaller lattice mismatch substrates (MgGa2O4 and CoGa2O4) as compared to MgAl2O4. Correspondingly, films on these substrates show much improved magnetic properties and sharper transition in the resistance values at the Verwey transition. Room temperature magnetic hysteresis and ferromagnetic resonance measurement studies indicate the presence of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy induced by substrate-induced strain in the film. Temperature-dependent transport measurements confirm that film thickness has a larger effect on the sharpness of the Verwey transition temperature than the degree of lattice mismatch with substrates.
