Abstract

We report on the epitaxial growth of LaTiO3 on biaxially textured (0 0 1) Ni. This investigation centers around the potential use of (La,Sr)TiO3 as a conductive buffer layer for subsequent growth of high temperature superconducting films for coated conductors. Epitaxy of LaTiO3 on Ni is achieved using pulsed-laser deposition. Excellent in-plane and out-of-plane alignment is confirmed via X-ray diffraction. For undoped LaTiO3 films, the oxide/metal interface is not stable against substrate oxidation, reflective of the propensity of LaTiO3 to accommodate excess oxygen in the lattice. Future work will focus on Sr-doped LaTiO3 films as this should alleviate these limitations.
