Download or read book Transition Metal Oxide Thin Films Integration on SrTiO3 written by Wei Guo (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metals (TMs) have an immense range of intriguing physical properties and phenomena. Transition metals and transition metal oxides (TMOs) play a very important role in modern day scientific research and industry. TMs and TMOs exhibit an even broader range of structural, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties when fabricated as thin films on other materials compared to their the bulk forms. SrTiO3 (STO) is a widely used cubic perovskite oxide material known for its excellent electronic properties. When TMs and TMOs are integrated on STO, effects based on their interaction with STO have lead researchers to explore the physics behind such effects and their possible industrial device applications. In this thesis, we will mainly focus on the integration of TMs and TMOs with STO and with epitaxial STO grown on Si. The interactions of the transition metal Pt and rare earth metal Eu when deposited on STO by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were investigated. For Pt growth on STO, I investigated the properties of ultrathin Pt as a function of coverage on TiO2-terminated SrTiO3 substrate at different temperatures. I used in situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ex situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to observe the evolution of the electronic structure and surface morphology of Pt. I compared the electronic structure of Pt and the different growth patterns at low and high temperatures. I also performed high temperature annealing of low temperature-grown samples and found a “bubble-up” behavior of the continuous film. We also performed ultra-high vacuum deposition of Eu metal on STO (001) and achieved EuO epitaxy on STO via oxygen scavenging. I explored the oxygen scavenging behavior of Eu using STO films on Si by varying the STO thickness and Eu deposition temperature. In situ XPS was used to investigate the electronic structure of the nominal Eu/STO/Si stack. Our XPS results on the Eu/EuO stack revealed an unusual downward band bending at the interface. This is supported by density functional theory calculations by Gao. This work has been published in J. Appl. Phys. 121, 105302 (2017) and J. Appl. Phys. 124, 235301 (2018). Theoretical calculations performed in our group predicted the existence of a 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the EuO/STO interface and demonstrated that the 2DEG location can be controlled if an additional layer of BaTiO3 is included. To explore this effect on the 2DEG, I performed soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SX-ARPES) with our collaborators at the Swiss Light Source. The results are currently being summarized for publication. For possible applications in Si photonics, I performed a detailed study of dry oxidation of a Si substrate below a thin epitaxial SrTiO3. Annealing time and temperature are the key factors to optimize the SiO2 thickness. I developed a theoretical model based on a modification of the Deal-Grove-Massoud formalism that predicted the thickness of SiO2 formed underneath STO as a function of time and temperature. The model fits the experimental data well. This work has been published in J. Appl. Phys. 127, 055302 (2020). In addition, I performed preliminary studies on free-standing STO membranes. I developed a fabrication process and performed Raman measurements. We also proposed a quantum well structure design of BaSnO3/SrTiO3/Al2O3 to make use of the conduction offset as large as ~3.5eV between BaSnO3 (BSO) and Al2O3. The whole deposition process is done by MBE and characterized by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and XPS to confirm the BSO film quality. We are still working on improving the quantum well quality to be able to make multiple quantum well structures
Download or read book Oxide Materials at the Two Dimensional Limit written by Falko P. Netzer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the current knowledge of two-dimensional oxide materials. The fundamental properties of 2-D oxide systems are explored in terms of atomic structure, electronic behavior and surface chemistry. The concept of polarity in determining the stability of 2-D oxide layers is examined, charge transfer effects in ultrathin oxide films are reviewed as well as the role of defects in 2-D oxide films. The novel structure concepts that apply in oxide systems of low dimensionality are addressed, and a chapter giving an overview of state-of-the-art theoretical methods for electronic structure determination of nanostructured oxides is included. Special emphasis is given to a balanced view from the experimental and the theoretical side. Two-dimensional materials, and 2-D oxides in particular, have outstanding behavior due to dimensionality and proximity effects. Several chapters treat prototypical model systems as illustrative examples to discuss the peculiar physical and chemical properties of 2-D oxide systems. The chapters are written by renowned experts in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years now the intense development in the field of microelectronics, the interest in coating materials, and activity in integrated optics have produced many advances in the field of thin solid filmg~ The research activity has become so intensive and so broad that it is necessary to divide the field into metallic and non metallic thin films. A summer school in the area of non metallic thin films appeared to be a very fruitful concept and, hence, in October, 1973, A.S.l.M.S. made a proposal to N.A.T.O to hold this second summer school in Corsica in September 1974. The basic idea behind this summer school was essentially to stress and synthesize physical properties and structure of non metallic thin films. The main reason for this was the feeling that many laboratories are very specialized and that few engage in both physical and structural analysis of these films. The program included a large section on' physical studies: electrical (transport, interface effects, switching), mechanical and optical. There was also a large section o~characterization, crystal structure, chemical composition (stoichiometry is always a difficult problem), bonding and electronic structure.
