Preparation of Epitaxial Pb(Zr, Ti)O₃ Thin Films on MgO (100) Substrates by Dipping-Pyrolysis Process

Epitaxial growth of Cu ( 100 ) and Pt ( 100 ) thin films on perovskite substrates Andrew

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been used to grow epitaxially oriented thin films of Cu and Pt on (100)-oriented substrates of both SrTiO3 and LaAlO3. The resulting films have been characterized for their crystalline orientations using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and for their surface morphologies using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The diffraction results illustrated that purely epitaxial Cu(10...

Anomalous anisotropic magnetoresistance in epitaxial Fe3O4 thin films on MgO(100)

Studies of the angular dependence of the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) are reported for epitaxial films of magnetite (Fe3O4) grown on MgO (001) and also for single crystals of magnetite. The characteristic feature of the AMR is a two-fold symmetry at temperatures above 200 K. As the samples are cooled below 200 K, an additional set of peaks appears. These become dominant at lower temperat...

Epitaxial ternary RexMo1-xSi2 thin films on Si(100)

Reactive deposition epitaxy was used to synthesize thin layers of RexMo1 _ _x8i2 on Si(lOO). In the case of x= 1, ReSi2 layers of excellent crystalline quality have been reported previously [J. E. Mahan, K. M. Geib, G. Y. Robinson, R. G. Long, Y. Xinghua, G. Bai, and M.-A. Nicolet, Appl. Phys. Lett. 56, 2439 ( 1990) ]. In the case of x = 0, however, virtually no alignment of the MoSi2 and the s...
