MnO thin films with various thicknesses and strains were grown on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. Films grown on (001)-oriented MgO substrates exhibit homogenous biaxial compressive strain which increases as the film thickness is reduced. For that reason, in paramagnetic phase,the frequency of doubly-degenerate phonon increases with the strain, and splits below Néel temperature TN due to the magnetic-exchange interaction. The phonon splitting in the MnO (001) films is 20% larger than that of the bulk MnO. Total phonon splitting is 55 cm-1 in (110)-oriented MnO film, which is more than twice the value in bulk MnO, but since the splitting is present already in paramagnetic phase, we cannot clearly correlate it with the value of exchange coupling constant.
