ABSTRACTWe have grown epitaxial thin films of isotropie metallic oxide SrRuC>3 on both exact and vicinal (001) SrTiO3 substrates with miscut angle (α) up to 5.0° and miscut direction (β) up to 37° away from the in-plane [010] axis. The effects of both α and β on the epitaxial growth and domain structure of epitaxial SrRuC>3 thin films were studied by x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM). On vicinal SrTiO3 substrates with a large miscut angle (α = 1.7°, 2.0°, 4.1°, and 5.0°) and miscut direction close to the [010] axis, single crystal epitaxial (110)° SrRuO3 thin films were obtained. [The superscript o refers to the Miller indices based on the orthorhombic unit cell.] Decreasing the substrate miscut angle or aligning the miscut direction close to the [110] axis (β = 45°) resulted in an increase of 90° domains in the plane. The films grown on vicinal substrates displayed a significant improvement in crystalline quality and in-plane epitaxial alignment as compared to the films grown on exact (001) SrTiO3 substrates. AFM revealed that as the miscut angle increased the growth mechanism changed from two dimensional nucleation to step flow growth.

ABSTRACTWe examined the influence of momentary annealing on the nanoscale surface morphology of NiO(111) epitaxial thin films deposited on atomically stepped sapphire (0001) substrates at room temperature in O2 at 1.3 × 10−3 and 1.3 × 10−6 Pa using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The NiO films have atomically flat surfaces (RMS roughness: approximately 0.1–0.2 nm) reflecting the step-and-terrace structures of the substrates, regardless of the O2 deposition pressure. After rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of the NiO(111) epitaxial film deposited at 1.3 × 10−3 Pa O2, a periodic straight nanogroove array related to the atomic steps of the substrate was formed on the film surface for 60 s. In contrast, the fabrication of a transient state in the nanogroove array formation was achieved with RTA of less than 1 s. However, when the O2 atmosphere during PLD was 1.3 × 10−6 Pa, random crystal growth was observed and resulted in a disordered rough surface nanostructure after RTA.

Combinatorial AACVD has achieved the production of various niobium/nitrogen co-doped TiO2 materials in a single film. The co-doping concentrations have been correlated with functional properties.
