Films of hexagonal praseodymium sesquioxide (h-Pr2O3) were deposited on Si(111) by molecular beam epitaxy and thereafter annealed in 1 atm oxygen at different temperatures, ranging from 100 to 700 °C. The films of the samples annealed at 300 °C or more were transformed to PrO2 with B-oriented Fm3¯m structure, while films annealed at lower temperatures kept the hexagonal structure. The films are composed of PrO2 and PrO2−δ species, which coexist laterally and are tetragonally distorted due to the interaction at the interface between oxide film and Si substrate. Compared to PrO2, PrO2−δ has the same cubic structure but with oxygen vacancies. The oxygen vacancies are partly ordered and increase the vertical lattice constant of the film, whereas the lateral lattice constant is almost identical for both species and on all samples. The latter lattice constant matches the lattice constant of the originally crystallized hexagonal praseodymium sesquioxide. That means that no long range reordering of the praseodymium atoms takes place during the phase transformation.
