ABSTRACTThe CaFeOX(CFO) and LaFeO3(LFO) thin films as well as superlattices were fabricated on SrTiO3(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. The tetragonal LFO film grew with layer-by-layer growth mode until approximately 40 layers. In the case of CFO, initial three layers showed layer-by-layer growth, and afterward the growth mode was transferred to two layers-by-two layers (TLTL) growth mode. The RHEED oscillation was observed until the end of the growth, approximately 50nm. Orthorhombic twin CaFeO2.5 (CFO2.5) structure was obtained. However, it is expected that the initial three CFO layers are CaFeO3 (CFO3) with the valence of Fe4+. The CFO and LFO superlattice showed a step-terraces surface, and the superlattice satellite peaks in a 2θ-θ and reciprocal space mapping (RSM) x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, indicating that the clear interfaces were fabricated.

AbstractRecently we have proposed a new layer-by-layer method for deposition of group-III nitrides from elemental precursors (Ga, N2) [1,2]. This technique is based on a two-step cyclic process, which alternates Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), of a liquid gallium target and nitrogen plasma treatment. In this work, we proceed on the development of this flexible cyclic deposition technique and study the influence of the power and time duration of the 1 mbar nitrogen RF plasma on the GaN thin films. The layers are deposited on pre-nitridated sapphire (0001) substrates at low deposition temperature (600° C) to minimise reevaporation. The cyclic GaN thin films thus obtained are compared in terms of crystal alignment and nitrogen incorporation. X-ray diffraction and optical transmission spectra are the selected tools used to characterise and compare the deposited films.

AbstractThe growth, structural and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of europium activated yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) thin films are reported. The Eu:Y2O3 films were grown in-situ using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Our results show that Eu:Y2O3 films can grow epitaxially on (100) LaAlO3 substrates under optimized deposition parameters. The epitaxial growth of Eu:Y2O3 films on LaAlO3, which has a lattice mismatch of ∼ 60 %, is explained by matching of the atom positions in the lattices of the film and the substrate after a rotation. CL data from these films are consistent with highly crystalline Eu:Y2O3 films with an intense CL emission at 611 nm.

AbstractBa0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BSTO) thin films were grown on (001) MgO using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD). The microstructures of in-situ and ex-situ annealed BSTO films were studied by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The films showed a cube on cube epitaxial relationship with <100> BSTO // <100> MgO. They were essentially single crystals with a columnar structure and possessed smooth surfaces. The interfaces of the BSTO films and substrates were atomically sharp, with misfit dislocations. Better crystallinity and full strain relaxation was obtained in films grown in 10-1 mbar oxygen and annealed ex-situ. A 30% increase in dielectric tuneability was achieved compared with in-situ annealing and deposition at 10-4 mbar. Threading dislocations are the dominant defects in the films grown in 10-1 mbar oxygen and annealed ex-situ, while the films with in-situ annealing show columnar structures with low angle boundaries.
