Iridium on Biaxially Textured Oxide Templates: A Concept to Grow Single Crystals on Arbitrary Substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) allows a biaxial texturing of oxide layers on polycrystalline or amorphous substrates. Even the best layers still contain an in-plane angular spread of about 4 . We report here a method to grow Ir films on top of these oxide layers with a factor of 5 lower misorientation. It is shown that the huge texture improvement involves a massive realignment of the iridium islands and an orientation averaging process. Heteroepitaxial diamond was successfully deposited on the Ir/IBAD-MgO multilayer stacks. The described texture improvement by iridium layers provides a general concept towards single crystal growth on arbitrary substrates. [DOI: 10.1143/JJAP.47.8925]

PbxBa1−xTiO3 (0.2 x 1) thin films were deposited on single-crystal MgO as well as amorphous Si3N4/Si substrates using biaxially textured MgO buffer templates, grown by ion beam-assisted deposition (IBAD). The ferroelectric films were stoichiometric and highly oriented, with only (001) and (100) orientations evident in x-ray diffraction (XRD) scans. Films on biaxially textured templates had smal...

We have investigated the growth of barium titanate thin films on bulk crystalline and amorphous substrates utilizing biaxially oriented template layers. Ion beam-assisted deposition was used to grow thin, biaxially textured, magnesium oxide template layers on amorphous and silicon substrates. Growth of highly oriented barium titanate films on these template layers was achieved by molecular beam...

Strontium titanate (STO) is of great of interest to use as buffer layer for growing perovskite thin films, since their lattice constant is closely matched to a large number of other perovskite oxides [1]. Biaxially textured STO buffer layer has been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [2] on rolling assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) made of low cost Cu-clad stainless steel subs...
