▼ [19p-Z14-8] Investigation of impact of orientation on electronic properties in epitaxially grown MoO2 films
Keywords:epitaxial growth, thin film, rutile
The structural instability of rutile compounds has been investigated intensively to reveal correlations between structural and electronic phase transitions, as represented by a metal-insulator transition in VO2. Recent discovery of superconductivity in strained rutile-type RuO2 films further draws interests of lattice engineering for exploring exotic properties. In order to investigate impact of lattice strain on phase instability, orientation control is a starting point. In this study, we focus on MoO2 with distorted rutile-type structure. The epitaxial growth and transport properties of MoO2 with various orientations are reported.
