Abstract

Eu 2O 3 thin films were epitaxially grown on (001)LaA103 (LAO) substrates using a polymer-assisted deposition technique. Microstructural studies by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy show that the films are epitaxial with an orientational relationship of (001) Eu2O3||(001) LAO and [11̄0] Eu2o3||[100] LAO. We have found a systematic change in the out-of-plane lattice parameter of Eu 2O 3 (a⊥) with the annealing temperature, which is believed to be from different strain effects.
