In this paper, the authors report the structural analysis of La[sub 0.5]Sr[sub 0.5]CoO[sub 3] (LSCo) / Pb[sub 0.9]La[sub 0.1]Zr[sub 0.2]Ti[sub 0.8]O[sub 3] (PLZT) multilayers grown with and without a bismuth titanate (Bi-Ti) template onto yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coated (001) Si substrates grown by laser ablation. The tetragonal PLZT was expected to have lattice parameters of approximately a [equals] 0.406 nm and c [equals] 0.411 nm, and the cubic LSCo to have a lattice parameter of 0.381 nm. The Bi-Ti layer was used because, with strongly two-dimensional growth, it was expected to form with the (001) basal plane parallel to the growth surface. Such a layered structure could then provide a template for the oriented growth of any subsequent layers.
