Here, we show the successful epitaxial synthesis of parasitic-free NFO thin film by pulsed laser deposition on (001)-SrTiO3. High-resolution X-ray diffraction shows a coherent growth and a tetragonal-like structure of a tensile strained 80 nm thick NFO film in contrast with the bulk orthorhombic state. Room temperature magnetometry indicates a bulk-like antiferromagnetic state for the NFO film. Temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction and magnetometry highlight a significant spin-lattice coupling at the Neel Temperature while a new magneto-structural instability is discovered around 250 degrees C that needs further investigation. %G English %L hal-03627233 %U https://u-picardie.hal.science/hal-03627233 %~ UNIV-PICARDIE %~ U-PICARDIE %~ LPMC-UPJV
