SrxBa1−xNb2O6 films have been epitaxially grown on MgO substrates by a single-source plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). Exceptionally high quality of the epitaxial films was observed as indicated by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction imaging. The films exhibit waveguiding behavior with values of refractive index and the linear electro-optic coefficient r51 close to those of bulk crystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
