NiO thin films with various strains were grown on SrTiO3 (STO) and MgO substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique.The variation of in-plane strain from -0.36% (compressive) to 0.48% (tensile) yields the decrease of the phonon frequency from 409.6 cm-1 to 377.5 cm-1which occurs due to the ~1% change of interatomic distances. The magnetic exchange-driven phonon splitting Δω was measured as a function of temperature. The Δω increases on cooling in NiO relaxed film. The splitting increases on cooling also in 0.48% tensile strained film, but Δω is systematically 3-4 cm-1 smaller than in relaxed film. Since the phonon splitting is proportional to the non-dominant magnetic exchange interaction J1, the reduction of phonon splitting in tensile-strained film was explained by a diminishing of J1 with lattice expansion.
