Anisotropic electrical transport in epitaxial La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films

Surface-step-terrace-induced anomalous transport properties in highly epitaxial La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 thin films.

La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 thin films were epitaxially grown on miscut MgO(001) substrates by pulsed laser ablation. Electrical transport properties were studied by using an ultra high vacuum, four-probe STM system at different temperatures. Anomalous resistivity behavior and metal-insulator transition temperatures were found, both of which are highly dependent upon the miscut angle (1, 3, and 5°). These...

Ultraviolet detectors based on annealed zinc oxide thin films: epitaxial growth and physical characterizations

In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...

Intrinsic conduction through topological surface states of insulating Bi2Te3 epitaxial thin films.

Topological insulators represent a novel state of matter with surface charge carriers having a massless Dirac dispersion and locked helical spin polarization. Many exciting experiments have been proposed by theory, yet their execution has been hampered by the extrinsic conductivity associated with the unavoidable presence of defects in Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3 bulk single crystals, as well as impuriti...
