nano-srtio3 and tio2 powders were synthesized using sol-gel method. the srtio3 and tio2 powders were characterized using xrd, sem, and spectrophotometry. xrd analysis indicated that the tio2 powder was uniform anatase crystals of 9.9 nm and the srtio3 powders was cubic nano-crystal of 16.2nm. photocatalytic experiments revealed that methyl orange in water can be decomposed on the two powders un...

The structural characteristics of SrRuO3 thin films deposited on a (001) SrTiO3 substrate by pulsed laser were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM. TEM studies of cross-sectional specimens revealed the epitaxial growth of the films with the SrRuO3-(110) plane parallel to the SrTiO3-(001) plane. Two types of 90° rotational domain structures were observed in ...

The SrTiO3 modified rutile TiO2 composite nanofibers were synthesized by a simple electrospinning technique. The result of XRD, SEM and TEM indicate that the SrTiO3/TiO2 heterojuction has been prepared successfully. Compared with the TiO2 and SrTiO3, the photocatalytic activity of the SrTiO3/TiO2 (rutile) for the degradation of methyl orange exhibits an obvious enhancement under UV illumination...

We have investigated the effects of modification of the SrTiO3/Co interface as well as the SrTiO3 barrier on the tunnel magnetoresistance TMR of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3/SrTiO3/Co junctions. Modification was realized by the introduction of one atomic layer of either TiO2 or SrO at the SrTiO3/Co interface. Barriers with different oxygen content were also studied. In these structures we have observed pos...

SrTiO3 nanoislands on SrTiO3 (001) in a diffusion-limited growth regime were studied using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM images revealed two characteristic features of nucleation stages. First, the minimum lateral size of the one-unit-cell (uc)-high SrTiO3 islands was 4 × 4 uc (2). Second, one-dimensional SrTiO3 islands of a 4 uc width grew along the crystal symmetry dire...

Complex oxide systems have attracted considerable attention because of their fascinating properties, including the magnetic ordering at the conducting interface between two band insulators, such as LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. However, the manipulation of the spin degree of freedom at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface has remained elusive. Here, we have fabricated hybrid magnetic tunnel junctions consist...

We report on nanoengineered SrTiO3-Sm2O3 nanocomposite thin films with the highest reported values of commutation quality factor (CQF or K-factor) of >2800 in SrTiO3 at room temperature. The films also had a large tunability of dielectric constant (49%), low tangent loss (tan δ = 0.01) and a Curie temperature for SrTiO3 > 300 °C, making them very attractive for tunable RF applications. The enha...

In this letter, we report a novel V-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst synthesized via electrospinning followed by a thermal diffusion process at low temperature. The morphological and crystalline structural investigations reveal not only that the V-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst possesses a uniform, porous, fibrous structure, but also that some V(5+) ions are introduced into the SrTiO3 lattice. The photoc...

Nanotube titanic acid (NTA) network film has a porous structure and large BET surface area, which lead them to possessing high utilization of the incident light and strong adsorption ability. We used NTA as the precursor to fabricate a TiO2/ SrTiO3 heterojunction film by the hydrothermal method. In the process of the reaction, part of NTA reacted with SrCl2 to form SrTiO3 nanocubes, and the rem...

Microstructure in the SrTiO3/Si system has been studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and image simulations. SrTiO3 grows heteroepitaxially on Si with the orientation relationship given by (001)STO//(001)Si and [100]STO//[110]Si. The lattice misfit between the SrTiO3 thin films and the Si substrate is accommodated by the presence of interfacial dislocations at the Si su...
