Cl. Li et al., HETEROEPITAXIAL GROWTH OF C-AXIS-ORIENTED BATIO3-CE YBA2CU3O7-X BILAYER STRUCTURE ON SRTIO3(100) BY PULSED-LASER DEPOSITION/, Modern physics letters B, 11(2-3), 1997, pp. 73-79
c-axis-oriented BaTiO3:Ce/YBa2Cu3O7-z bilayers have been epitaxially g
rown on the SrTiO3(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The cry
stal structure and epitaxial orientation of the films have been analyz
ed by the XRD theta/2 theta, omega and phi scans, and the results indi
cate that the bilayer thin films have high degree of c-axis-oriented e
pitaxial crystalline structure. The surface morphology of the thin fil
ms was revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ferroelectr
icity of the BaTiO3:Ce thin films was verified by the P-E hysteresis l
oop.
