Strain engineering with different substrate facets is promising for tuning functional properties of thin film perovskite oxides. By choice of facet, different surface symmetries and chemical bond directions for epitaxial interfaces can be tailored. Here, preparation of well-defined pseudo-cubic (111)-oriented orthorhombic substrates of DyScO3 , GdScO3 , and NdGaO3 is reported. The choice of orthorhombic facet, (011)o or (101)o , both corresponding to pseudo-cubic (111)pc , gives vicinal surfaces with single or double (111pc layer terrace step heights, respectively, impacting subsequent thin film growth. Orthorhombic LaFeO3 epitaxy on the (101)o facet reveals a distinction between alternating (111)pc layers, both during and after growth. The observed differences are explained based on the oxygen octahedral tilt pattern relative to the two orthorhombic (111)pc surfaces. This robust structural detail in the orthorhombic perovskite oxides enables utilisation of different (111)pc facets for property engineering, through polyhedral connectivity control and cation coordination at epitaxial interfaces.
Growth of perovskite oxide thin films on Si in crystalline form has long been a critical obstacle for the integration of multifunctional oxides into Si-based technologies. In this study, we propose pulsed laser deposition of a crystalline SrTiO3 thin
We report a scalable approach to synthesize a large-area (up to 4 mm) thin black phosphorus (BP) film on a flexible substrate. We first deposited a red phosphorus (RP) thin-film on a flexible polyester substrate, followed by its conversion to BP in a
We report the first observation of coherent surface states on cubic perovskite oxide SrVO3(001) thin films through spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy. A direct link between the observed atomic-scale interference patterns and the form
Epitaxial 200nm BiFe$_{0.95}$Mn$_{0.05}$O$_{3}$ (BFO) film was grown by pulsed laser deposition on (111) oriented SrTiO3 substrate buffered with a 50nm thick SrRuO$_{3}$ electrode. The BFO thin film shows a rhombohedral structure and a large remnant
Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) thin film exhibiting desired ferroelectric and enhanced magnetic properties was grown on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) buffered Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by off-axis RF magnetic sputtering, where a highly (111)-oriented texture w
