Structural study of epitaxial LiCoO2 films grown by pulsed laser deposition on single crystal SrTiO3 substrates

Article history: Received 11 December 2015 Received in revised form 4 May 2016 Accepted 11 May 2016 Available online 24 May 2016 Epitaxial LiCoO2 (LCO) thin films of different orientations were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in order to model single-crystal behavior of intercalation cathodes during electrochemical reactions. This paper demonstrates that (1) epitaxial growth of LCO ...

Structural properties of Cu2O epitaxial films grown on c-axis single crystal ZnO by magnetron sputtering

Graphene Crystal Growth Engineering on Epitaxial Copper Thin Films

In this work 1 , we study graphene growth dynamics on epitaxial Cu thin film substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). These surfaces have a single crystallographic orientation and are atomically smooth, unlike their foil counterparts, making them better platforms on which to reproducibly synthesize highquality graphene and study crystal growth evolution. Consequently, we gained novel insi...

Thermal Oxidation Times Effect on Structural and Morphological Properties of Molybdenum Oxide Thin Films Grown on Quartz Substrates

Molybdenum oxide (α-MoO)thin films were prepared on quartz and silicon substrates by thermal oxidation of Mo thin films deposited using DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of thermal oxidation times ranging from 60-240 min on the structural and morphological properties of the preparedfilms was investigated using X-ray diffraction, Atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared...

Transport characteristics of magnetite thin films grown onto GaAs substrates

Magnetite thin films with a preferred ~111! orientation have been deposited by reactive dc magnetron sputtering from a pure Fe target onto ~100! GaAs substrates at 400 °C. The films show a clear Verwey transition in both the magnetization and sheet resistance as functions of temperature. For films deposited onto semiconducting n-type GaAs substrates, we have obtained asymmetric current–voltage ...
