Epitaxial thin films of pyrochlore iridate Bi_2+xIr_2-yO_7-δ: structure, defects and transport properties

Journal Article Yang, W. C. ; Xie, Y. T. ; Zhu, W. K. ; ... - Scientific Reports

While pyrochlore iridate thin films are theoretically predicted to possess a variety of emergent topological properties, experimental verification of these predictions can be obstructed by the challenge in thin film growth. We report on the pulsed laser deposition and characterization of thin films of a representative pyrochlore compound Bi₂Ir₂O₇. Moreover, the films were epitaxially grown on yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates and have lattice constants that are a few percent larger than that of the bulk single crystals. The film composition shows a strong dependence on the oxygen partial pressure. Density-functional-theory calculations indicate the existence of BiIr antisite defects, qualitatively consistent withmore »« less

Synthesis and characterization of dense Gd₂Ti₂O₇ pyrochlore thin films deposited using RF magnetron sputtering

Journal Article Kreller, Cortney ; Mukundan, Rangachary ; Brosha, Eric Lanich ; ... - Solid State Ionics

Thin films of phase-pure pyrochlore Gd₂Ti₂O₇ have been synthesized by RF magnetron sputtering. The films were prepared from oxide targets in 50% O₂/Ar atmosphere and deposited on 111 yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates at a temperature of 800 °C. The pyrochlore structure was confirmed via grazing angle X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis also showed that the films were dense and of uniform thickness with surface roughness of approximately 8 nm. The total conductivity measured with AC impedance spectroscopy was found to be independent of thickness and comparable in magnitude to that of bulkmore »« less

Microstructure and dielectric properties of pyrochlore Bi{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 7} thin films

Journal Article Cagnon, Joeel ; Boesch, Damien S ; Finstrom, Nicholas H ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Bi{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 7} thin films were grown by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on bare and Pt-coated sapphire substrates at low substrate temperatures ({approx}200 deg. C). Postdeposition anneals were carried out at different temperatures to crystallize the films. Nearly phase-pure Bi{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 7} thin films with the cubic pyrochlore structure were obtained at annealing temperatures up to 800 deg. C. Impurity phases, in particular Bi{sub 4}Ti{sub 3}O{sub 12}, formed at higher temperatures. At 1 MHz, the dielectric constants were about 140-150 with a very small tunability and the dielectric loss was about 4x10{sup -3}. The dielectric loss increased with frequency.more »« less

Tuning piezoelectric properties through epitaxy of La₂Ti₂O₇ and related thin films

Journal Article Kaspar, Tiffany C. ; Hong, Seungbum ; Bowden, Mark E. ; ... - Scientific Reports

Current piezoelectric sensors and actuators are limited to operating temperatures less than ~200°C due to the low Curie temperature of the piezoelectric material. High temperature piezoelectric materials such as La2Ti2O7 (LTO) would facilitate the development of high-temperature sensors if the piezoelectric coupling coefficient could be maximized. We have deposited epitaxial LTO films on SrTiO3(001), SrTiO3(110), and rutile TiO2(110) substrates by pulsed laser deposition, and show that the crystalline orientation of the LTO film, and thus its piezoelectric coupling direction, can be controlled by epitaxial matching to the substrate. The structure and phase purity of the films were investigated by x-raymore »« less
