Epitaxial ordering of oxide superconductor thin films on (100) SrTiO3 prepared by pulsed laser evaporation

Abstract

Superconducting ceramics are produced in crystalline form by, for example, the crystal pulling technique. The seed crystal is prepared from another ceramic material which is non-superconducting but has a similar molecu lar structure as the superconducting ceramic to be formed. By virtue of the similarity in the crystalline structure, single crystals of superconducting ceramics can be easily produced on the seed crystal.

Identification of hydrogen defects in SrTiO3by first-principles local vibration mode calculations

“…Strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ) is an important oxide material due to a rich variety of industrial applications, for examples, in dielectric and optical devices [10][11][12][13] and as a substrate for superconducting thin films [14]. Discovery of high mobility 2D electron gas at interfaces between SrTiO 3 and other oxides [15] further opened up new opportunities in oxide electronics.…”

Aspects of the SrO-CuO-TiO₂ Ternary System Related to the Deposition of SrTiO₃ and Copper-Doped SrTiO₃ Thin-Film Buffer Layers

“…Several process limitations have been identified (33). The oxidizing heat treatment conditions that are required to thermally process deposited thin films are not favorable for the textured metallic substrates called for by coated conductors.…”

“…There are several advantages of spin coating over other deposition processes (33,34). The degrees of freedom in the process are spin speed, spin duration, and solution viscosity.…”

Spatially modulated magnetic structure of EuS due to the tetragonal domain structure of SrTiO3

“…Additional potential applications include the creation of topological superconductivity to produce zeroenergy Majorana fermion modes [23,24], the topological magnetoelectric effect [25,26], a magnetic monopole [27], and the quantum anomalous Hall effect [28,29]. In the latter example, one could grow a heterostructure of EuS/topological insulator/EuS with the intention of breaking time reversal symmetry on the top and bottom surface states in order to observe chiral edge modes [25].SrTiO 3 (STO) is a common substrate for growing new heterostructures such as high-temperature superconductors [30][31][32], ferroelectrics [33,34], and electronic systems with high spin-orbit coupling [35]. STO is a perovskite band insulator with a cubic unit cell.…”
