△ [15p-A409-6] Epitaxially stabilized single-crystalline pyrochlore Bi2Rh2O7 thin films by interface control
Keywords:thin film, pulse laser deposition, pyrochlore oxide
All reported studies of pyrochlore oxides A2Rh2O7 with Rh4+ are performed by using bulk polycrystals because Rh3+ is stable. Most of the pyrochlore oxide thin films have been fabricated on YSZ substrates with good lattice matching, but in the case of Bi-Rh oxides, new layered compounds [BinOn]-[RhO2] (n=2, 3) are stabilized on the YSZ substrates. Here we report the fabrication of Bi2Rh2O7 by inserting a pyrochlore Eu2Ti2O7 buffer layer on the YSZ(111) substrate by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD).
