چکیده
Strain-engineering is a powerful means to tune the polar, structural, and electronic instabilities of incipient ferroelectrics. KTaO3 near polar instability shows anisotropic superconductivity in electron-doped samples. Here, we demonstrate growth high quality thin films by molecular-beam epitaxy. Tantalum was provided both suboxide source emanating TaO2 flux from Ta2O5 contained conventional effusion cell as well an electron-beam-heated tantalum source. Excess potassium combination ozone oxygen (10 \% O3 + 90 O2) were simultaneously supplied with TaO$_2$ (or tantalum) molecular beams grow KTaO$_3$ films. Laue fringes suggest that are smooth abrupt film/substrate interface. Cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy does not show any extended defects confirms have atomically interface substrate. Atomic force reveals atomic steps at surface grown Reciprocal space mapping demonstrates films, when sufficiently thin, coherently strained SrTiO$_3$ (001) GdScO$_3$ (110) substrates.

Basics of Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE)
A brief introduction to the MBE technique is presented with main attention to the elemental source MBE. A discussion on the effusion cell as beam source is shortly given starting from ideal cases to real cells homogeneity problems. A short review regarding the thermodynamic approach to the MBE is pointed out. Focusing on the possibility that, despite the fact that MBE processes occur under stro...
متن کاملMolecular beam epitaxy and properties of GaAsBi/GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy: effect of thermal annealing
We have grown GaAsBi quantum wells by molecular beam epitaxy. We have studied the properties of a 7% Bi GaAsBi quantum well and their variation with thermal annealing. High-resolution X-ray diffraction, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy have been employed to get some insight into its structural properties. Stationary and time-resolved photoluminescence shows ...
