LaNiO3 (LNO) thin films were spin-coated onto the SrTiO3(100) (STO) substrates by the chemical solution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) θ-2θ scans and X-ray β scans were used to determine the crystallinity and in-plane alignment behavior of the films. XRD patterns showed that the LNO thin films obta...

The interface engineering of oxide heterostructures, such as BaTiO3 (BTO)/SrTiO3 (STO), has received considerable attention because of their interesting physical/electrical properties. In this study, the in-situ crystallization of BTO thin film was achieved using a high temperature (∼350 °C) atomic ...

A series of SrTiO3 films were deposited on CeO2 layer by pulsed laser deposition at substrate temperature in the range of 300 °C–700 °C. It was found that the (110)-oriented and (200)-oriented SrTiO3 grains coexisted on the CeO2 layer. Although the (110)-oriented grains dominated during the depositi...

We report monitoring and analysis of the contamination overlayer on the surface of different SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Substrates of STO with different terminations, random ...
