W. Jo et al., EFFECT OF CEO2 INTERLAYER DEPOSITION TEMPERATURE ON GROWTH-BEHAVIOR OF BI4TI3O12 CEO2/MGO HETEROSTRUCTURES/, Applied physics letters, 69(8), 1996, pp. 1077-1079
CeO2 interlayers were used to control growth behavior of Bi4Ti3O12 thi
n films on Mg0(001) substrates. The CeO2 layer grown at 740 degrees C
had a preferential orientation with its c-axis normal to the film surf
ace, so it could be used to grow an epitaxial Bi4Ti3O12(001)/CeO2(001)
/MgO(001) heterostructure. On the other hand, the CeO2 layer grown at
650 degrees C showed a mixed texture of (001) and (111), and this inte
rlayer enabled us to get a preferentially oriented B4Ti3O12(117)/CeO2(
111)MgO(001) multilayer structure. (C) 1996 American Institute of Phys
