Influence of perovskite termination on oxide heteroepitaxy

چکیده
We report a combined high-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, ion scattering spectroscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy study of bare lanthanum aluminate LaAlO3 LAO and of the initial stages of anatase TiO2 growth on LAO 001 . LAO 001 exhibits mixed La–O and Al–O2 surface terminations at 400 °C. Heteroepitaxial TiO2, grown by evaporating Ti metal in O2, nucleates near step edges, growing out to cover both upper and lower terraces uniformly, regardless of termination, indicating that the substrate cations and perovskite surface polarity play little direct role in controlling the morphology of this single-metal oxide heteroepitaxy. TiO2 films of 1.5 nm in thickness exhibit a surface reconstruction similar to the bulk anatase 1 4 . © 2006 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.2202197

متن کاملThree-dimensional heteroepitaxy in self-assembled BaTiO3–CoFe2O4 nanostructures
Self-assembled BaTiO3–CoFe2O4 complex oxide nanostructures have been synthesized by pulsed laser deposition. A single ceramic target with a molar ratio of 0.62BaTiO3–0.38CoFe2O4 was used. Spinel CoFe2O4 and perovskite BaTiO3 phases spontaneously separated during heteroepitaxial growth on a single-crystal SrTiO3 s001d substrate. The nanostructures are epitaxial in-plane as well as out-of-plane, ...
