Phase-Pure Epitaxial b-Axis-Oriented Bronze TiO2 Films

Creating high quality Ca:TiO2-B (CaTi5O11) and TiO2-B epitaxial thin films by pulsed laser deposition.

We demonstrate, in great detail, a completely waterless synthesis route to produce highly crystalline epitaxial thin films of TiO2-B and its more stable variant CaTi5O11, using pulsed laser deposition (PLD).

Synthesis and properties of a-axis and b-axis oriented GdBa2Cu307-s high 7’, thin films

We report the growth and properties of a-axis oriented GdBa,CusO,-a high T, thin films on (100) SrTi03 substrates by dc magnetron sputtering. It is found that GdBa,Cu,O,-s films on (100) SrTiO, exhibit a-oriented growth at higher substrate temperatures compared with YBaQtsO,-& films. By utilizing low-temperature-grown u-axis GdBazCu,O,_.s films (200 A in thickness) as a self-template, pure a-ax...

Structural phase transition in epitaxial perovskite films

Three different film systems have been systematically investigated to understand the effects of strain and substrate constraint on the phase transitions of perovskite films. In SrTiO3 films, the phase transition temperature Tc was determined by monitoring the superlattice peaks associated with rotations of TiO6 octahedra. It is found that Tc depends on both SrTiO3 film thickness and SrRuO3 buff...
