We demonstrate the epitaxial growth of thin films by thermal laser evaporation. Epitaxial metal oxide are grown evaporating Ni, V, and Ru elemental sources in a variety oxygen-ozone atmospheres on laser-heated substrates. This results NiO (111), VO2 (M1) (020), RuO2 (110) Al2O3 (0001) or MgO (100) The show well-defined crystallographic orientation relationships with substrates, as confirmed in-...
