Abstract

Using pulsed-laser deposition, We grew quaternary Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films heteroepitaxially on (100) LaAlO3 substrates with conductive SrRuO3 as a bottom electrode. The microstructure of this multilayer of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3/SrRuO3/LaAlO3, was characterized by X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. The heteroepitaxial growth relationship was found to be (h00)Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3‖(00l)SrRuO3‖(h00)LaAlO3 and (110)Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3‖⟨100⟩SrRuO3‖⟨110⟩LaAlO3. The high dielectric constant of the crystalline Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films and the low leakage current of the Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 film sandwiched between a top Au and bottom SrRuO3 electrodes are attributed to the structural perfection of the films and the clean interfaces between layers.
