Abstract
Epitaxial films of Na2CaGe6O14 with langasite structure were deposited by l iquid phase epitaxy (LPE) technique on isomorphic Nd3Ga5SiO14 substrates at a growth temperature of about 1000 degrees C using K2O-V2O5 based flux. Th e films were about 100 mu m in thickness and had rough surface morphology. The film composition measurements were made by scanning electron-probe micr oanalysis (EPMA). EPMA data indicated low content of flux forming: K+ and V 5+ cations in the films grown. Ca2+ enrichment and Na+ decrease were detect ed in the vicinity of film/substrate interfaces.
