Abstract

We studied structural changes in a 5 unit cell thick La _1.96Sr _0.04CuO ₄ film, epitaxially grown on a LaSrAlO ₄ substrate with a single unit cell buffer layer, when ultra-high electric fields were induced in the film by applying a gate voltage between the film and an ionic liquid in contact with it. Measuring the diffraction intensity along the substrate-defined Bragg rods and analyzing the results using a phase retrieval method we obtained the three-dimensional electron density in the film, buffer layer, and topmost atomic layers of the substrate under different applied gate voltages. The main structural observations were: (i) there were no structural changes when the voltage was negative, holes were injected into the film making it more metallic and screening the electric field; (ii) when the voltage was positive, the film was depleted of holes becoming more insulating, the electric field extended throughout the film, the partial surface monolayer became disordered, and planar oxygen atoms were displaced towards the sample surface; (iii) the changes in surface disorder and the oxygen displacements were both reversed when a negative voltage was applied; and (iv) the c-axis lattice constant of the film did not change in spite of the displacementmore » of planar oxygen atoms.« less

Growth and Dissolution of Iron and Manganese Oxide Films

Technical Report Martin, Scot T

Growth and dissolution of Fe and Mn oxide films are key regulators of the fate and transport of heavy metals in the environment, especially during changing seasonal conditions of pH and dissolved oxygen. The Fe and Mn are present at much higher concentrations than the heavy metals, and, when Fe and Mn precipitate as oxide films, heavy metals surface adsorb or co-precipitate and are thus essentially immobilized. Conversely, when the Fe and Mn oxide films dissolve, the heavy metals are released to aqueous solution and are thus mobilized for transport. Therefore, understanding the dynamics and properties of Fe and Mnmore »« less

Enhancement of spin-lattice coupling in nanoengineered oxide films and heterostructures by laser MBE

Technical Report Xi, Xiaoxing

The objective of the proposed research is to investigate nanoengineered oxide films and multilayer structures that are predicted to show desirable properties. The main focus of the project is an atomic layer-by-layer laser MBE (ALL-Laser MBE ) technique that is superior to the conventional laser MBE in broadening the conditions for the synthesis of high quality nanoscale oxides and new designer materials. In ALL-Laser MBE, separate oxide targets are used instead of one compound target in the conventional laser MBE. The targets are switched back and forth in front of a UV laser beam as they are alternately ablated. Themore »« less

Gate-tunable coherent transport in Se-capped Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} grown on amorphous SiO{sub 2}/Si

Journal Article Liu, Y. H. ; Chong, C. W., E-mail: cheongwei2000@yahoo.com, E-mail: jcahuang@mail.ncku.edu.tw, E-mail: smhuang@mail.nsysu.edu.tw ; Huang, S. Y. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

A topological insulator (TI) is an exotic material that has a bulk insulating gap and metallic surface states with unique spin-momentum locking characteristics. Despite its various important applications, large scale integration of TI into MOSFET technologies and its coherent transport study are still rarely explored. Here, we report the growth of high quality Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} thin film on amorphous SiO{sub 2}/Si substrate using MBE. By controlling the thickness of the film at ∼7 nm and capping the as grown film in situ with a 2 nm-thick Se layer, largest electrostatic field effect is obtained and the resistance is changed by almostmore »« less

High Efficiency, Inexpensive Thin Film III-V Photovoltaics using Single-Crystalline-Like, Flexible Substrates

Technical Report Selvamanickam, Venkat

An innovative, non-mainstream approach has been developed to fabricate inexpensive GaAs solar cells directly on epi-ready flexible metal substrates. Using templates made by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and epitaxial germanium films made by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), epitaxial GaAs films with high opto-electronic and structural quality have been grown on metal substrates using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Crystallographic out-of-plane and in-plane texture spread less than 1 degree full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) was achieved in undoped, n-type and p-type GaAs films as well as in AlGaAs films on metal substrates. Electron mobility of >1300 cm ²/V-s was attainedmore »« less

Microstructure and residual strain in La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4} thin films on LaSrAlO{sub 4}-buffered SrTiO{sub 3} substrates

Journal Article Jia, C L ; Zeng, X H ; Xi, X X ; ... - Physical Review B

The microstructure and residual strain of bilayer films of La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4}/LaSrAlO{sub 4} on SrTiO{sub 3} substrates are investigated by means of electron-diffraction analysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In two samples containing LaSrAlO{sub 4} buffer layers with thicknesses of 37 and 75 nm, a compressive strain is measured in the La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4} layers. From the presence of lattice defects close to interface imperfections it can be concluded that the thickness of these La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4} layers is close to the critical value for mismatch-strain relaxation. The strain level in the layer on the 37-nm-thick buffer is lower thanmore »« less
