Electrodynamic properties of La-doped SrTiO3 thin films with controlled elemental vacancies have been investigated using optical spectroscopy and thermopower measurement. In particular, we observed a correlation between the polaron formation and thermoelectric properties of the transition metal oxide (TMO) thin films. With decreasing oxygen partial pressure during the film growth (P(O2)), a systematic lattice expansion was observed along with the increased elemental vacancy and carrier density, experimentally determined using optical spectroscopy. Moreover, we observed an absorption in the mid-infrared photon energy range, which is attributed to the polaron formation in the doped SrTiO3 system. Thermopower of the La-doped SrTiO3 thin films could be largely modulated from -120 to -260 {mu}V K-1, reflecting an enhanced polaronic mass of ~3 < mpolron/m < ~4. The elemental vacancies generated in the TMO films grown at various P(O2) influences the global polaronic transport, which governs the charge transport behavior, including the thermoelectric properties.

BaSnO_{3}, a high mobility perovskite oxide, is an attractive material for oxide-based electronic devices. However, in addition to low-field mobility, high-field transport properties such as the saturation velocity of carriers play a major role in de
termining device performance. We report on the experimental measurement of electron saturation velocity in La-doped BaSnO_{3} thin films for a range of doping densities. Predicted saturation velocities based on a simple LO-phonon emission model using an effective LO phonon energy of 120 meV show good agreement with measurements of velocity saturation in La-doped BaSnO_{3} films.. Density-dependent saturation velocity in the range of 1.6x10^{7} cm/s reducing to 2x10^{6} cm/s is predicted for {delta}-doped BaSnO3 channels with carrier densities ranging from 10^{13} cm^{-2} to 2x10^{14} cm^{-2} respectively. These results are expected to aid the informed design of BaSnO3 as the active material for high-charge density electronic transistors.
Doping ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 with La is a promising route to improve endurance. However, the beneficial effect of La on the endurance of polycrystalline films may be accompanied by degradation of the retention. We have investigated the endurance
- retention dilemma in La-doped epitaxial films. Compared to undoped epitaxial films, large values of polarization are obtained in a wider thickness range, whereas the coercive fields are similar, and the leakage current is substantially reduced. Compared to polycrystalline La-doped films, epitaxial La-doped films show more fatigue but there is not significant wake-up effect and endurance-retention dilemma. The persistent wake-up effect common to polycrystalline La-doped Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films, is limited to a few cycles in epitaxial films. Despite fatigue, endurance in epitaxial La-doped films is more than 1010 cycles, and this good property is accompanied by excellent retention of more than 10 years. These results demonstrate that wake-up effect and endurance-retention dilemma are not intrinsic in La-doped Hf0.5Zr0.5O2.
High-quality thermoelectric LaxSr1-xTiO3 (LSTO) layers (here with x = 0.2), with thicknesses ranging from 20 nm to 700 nm, have been epitaxially grown on SrTiO3(001) substrates by enhanced solid-source oxide molecular-beam epitaxy. All films are atom
ically flat (with rms roughness < 0.2 nm), with low mosaicity (<0.1{deg}), and present very low electrical resistivity (<5 x 10-4 ohm.cm at room temperature), one order of magnitude lower than commercial Nb-doped SrTiO3 single-crystalline substrate. The conservation of transport properties within this thickness range has been confirmed by thermoelectric measurements where Seebeck coefficients of around -60 microV/K have been found for all films, accordingly. Finally, a correlation is given between the mosaicity and the (thermo)electric properties. These functional LSTO films can be integrated on Si in opto-microelectronic devices as transparent conductor, thermoelectric elements or in non-volatile memory structures.
We report a dielectric relaxation in ferroelectric thin films of the ABO3 family. We have compared films of different compositions with several growth modes: sputtering (with and without magnetron) and sol-gel. The relaxation was observed at cryogeni
c temperature (T<100K) for frequencies from 100Hz up to 10MHz. This relaxation activation energy is always lower than 200meV. It is very similar to the polaron relaxation that we reported in the parent bulk perovskites. Being independent of the materials size, morphology and texture, this relaxation can be a useful probe of defects in actual integrated capacitors with no need for specific shaping
Room temperature ferromagnetism was observed in n-type Fe-doped In2O3 thin films deposited on c-cut sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Structure, magnetism, composition, and transport studies indicated that Fe occupied the In sites of th
e In2O3 lattice rather than formed any metallic Fe or other magnetic impurity phases. Magnetic moments of films were proved to be intrinsic and showed to have a strong dependence on the carrier densities which depended on the Fe concentration and its valance state as well as oxygen pressure.
