✦ Synopsis


A noble metal Pt thin film was successfully grown on (0 0 1) SrTiO 3 substrate by using a DC-sputtering technique. The surface morphology and growth features of the as-grown Pt films were investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy. Growth conditions, such as pre-sputtering, deposition ambience, and oxygen ratio are found to greatly affect the orientation, the crystallinity, and the epitaxial behavior of Pt films on (0 0 1) SrTiO 3 . Single-crystalline Pt films have been achieved by introducing a few percentage oxygen into the sputtering ambient. The in-plane-relationship of the caxis oriented Pt thin films on (0 0 1) SrTiO 3 was determined to be (0 0 1) Pt k(0 0 1) SrTiO 3 and [0 0 1] Pt k[0 0 1] SrTiO 3 . Oxygen in the sputtering ambient was found to be a key factor to achieve the epitaxial Pt films.

A highly mismatched Mo/SrTiO 3 system was found to develop two non-equivalent orientation relationships between the metal film and the ceramic substrate. The molybdenum films, with a nominal thickness of 50 nm, were deposited by molecular beam epitaxy at T substrate ΒΌ 600 Β°C. The film and the substr
