Synthesis of SrSnO3 thin films by pulsed laser deposition: Influence of substrate and deposition temperature

Evolution of the structural and microstructural characteristics of SrSn1−xTixO3 thin films under the influence of the composition, the substrate and the deposition method

“…This means that by choosing appropriate substrates, epitaxial and polycrystalline thin films with diversified microstructures and properties can be obtained. The method used for deposition can also strongly influences the characteristics of the films [28,29]. It is therefore of great interest to explore different deposition methods in order to evaluate their effect on the structural and morphological properties of SrSn 1-x Ti x O 3 thin films.…”

“…Alves et al [28] for SrSnO 3 thin film deposited on R-sapphire. This behaviour can be explained by several reasons -the large mismatch between films and substrate (Table 3), the distortion of the oxygen network of R-sapphire [39,40] and the highest difficulty to grow high quality thin films from solid-solution than from defined compounds, due to cationic disorder.…”

“…However, the ω value may sometimes be higher due to the twinned structure of LAO substrates [44]. Indeed, some - It has already been reported in the literature that STO [45,46] and SSO [28] thin films can grow epitaxially on (100) LAO by PLD. As expected in the present work, the films based on the SST solid solution also present an epitaxial growth on (100) LAO substrate, as shown by the presence of 4 peaks in the -scans separated from each other by 90º ( Fig.…”

Controlling the Electronic, Structural, and Optical Properties of Novel MgTiO3/LaNiO3 Nanostructured Films for Enhanced Optoelectronic Devices

“…In this context, significant advances in the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method, and particularly over the last decades, provided a more versatile and innovative way toward developing high-quality thin films with entirely new physical properties [3][4][5][6]. This technique has been widely applied to thin film growth based on perovskite oxide materials [7][8][9], mainly because of the sizeable technological interest in these materials, and their remarkable record of developing widespread applications for these novel functional materials.…”

A Solvothermal Process to Synthesize Barium Metastannate Nanoparticles Assisted by Microwave Irradiation

“…The detailed studies of metal metastannates on different aspects of the manufacturing method have been developed to enhance the applications of metal metastannates prepared by a range of processes, such as a solid-state reaction 6 , a coprecipitation method 7 , sol-gel 8 , a combustion method 9 , a precursor route 10,11 , a microwave synthesis 12 , a polymerized complex method 13 , a molten salt synthesis 14 , a pulsed laser deposition 15 and a self-heat-sustained method 16,17 . The advantages of microwave synthesis are to bring a very short reaction time, a small particle size and a narrow particle size distribution.…”
