Domain matched epitaxial growth of Bi1.5Zn1Nb1.5O7 thin films by pulsed laser deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bi1.5Zn1Nb1.5O7 (BZN) epitaxial thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on Al2O3 with a double ZnO buffer layer through domain matching epitaxy (DME) mechanism. The pole figure analysis and reciprocal space mapping revealed the single crystalline nature of the thin film. The pole figure analysis also shows a 60 twinning for the (222) oriented crystals. Sharp intense spots in the SAED pattern also indicate the high crystalline nature of BZN thin film. The Fourier filtered HRTEM images of the BZN-ZnO interface confirms the domain matched epitaxy of BZN with ZnO buffer. An electric field dependent dielectric tunability of 68% was obtained for the BZN thin films with inter digital capacitors patterned over the film.

Dependence of Magnetic Properties on Laser Ablation Conditions for Epitaxial La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_{3} Thin Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition
Epitaxial La0:6Sr0:4MnO3 (LSMO) thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition. Relationships between magnetic properties of LSMO epitaxial thin films and ablation conditions such as ablated spot area and total incident laser energy in a pulsed laser deposition technique were studied. Ablated spot area was controlled by changing the focus lens position and total laser energy. Epitaxial growth...

In this work, we describe the homoand hetero-epitaxial growth of hexagonal and cubic MgxZn1−xO thin films on lattice matched substrates of c-Al2O3, ZnO, MgO and SrTiO3. The crystalline quality, composition and epitaxial nature of the alloy films are obtained by x-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) techniques. The RBS channeling yields are in the range 3–8% for homo...
