K. Hwang et al., X-ray diffraction studies of epitaxial La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 thin films prepared by the dipping-pyrolysis process, JPN J A P 1, 38(11), 1999, pp. 6489-6490
A reciprocal-space map (omega-2 theta scans) can provide more information t
han conventional X-ray diffraction (XRD) theta-2 theta scans. In this study
, an epitaxial La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 thin film prepared on the SrTiO3(100) substra
te by the dipping-pyrolysis (DP) process was investigated based on XRD thet
a-2 theta scanning, beta scanning (pole figure) and asymmetric omega-2 thet
a scanning. An epitaxial La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 film annealed at 800 degrees C was
found to consist of the pseudocubic phase with a d(parallel to)/d(perpendic
ular to) ratio of 1.005 by reciprocal-space map analysis.
