Epitaxial growth of SrTiO3 films on cube-textured Cu-clad substrates by PLD at low temperature under reducing atmosphere

The growth of epitaxial {001} SrTiO3 (STO) on low-cost cube-textured Cu-based clad substrate at low temperature was carried out by means of pulsed laser deposition (PLD). STO film was deposited in one step under a reducing atmosphere (5% H2 and 95% Ar mixture) to prevent the oxidation of the metal s...
