With the ever-increasing energy need to process big data, the realization of low-power computing technologies, such as superconducting logic and memories, has become a pressing issue. Developing fast and nonvolatile superconducting memory elements, however, remains a challenge. S ...
Sputter deposition of oxide materials in a high-pressure oxygen atmosphere is a well-known technique to produce thin films of perovskite oxides in particular. Also interfaces can be fabricated, which we demonstrated recently by growing LaAlO3 on SrTiO3 substrates and showing that ...
We have investigated the properties of interfaces between LaAlO3 films grown on SrTiO3 substrates singly terminated by TiO2. We used RF sputtering in a high-pressure oxygen atmosphere. The films are smooth, with flat surfaces. Transmission electron microscopy shows sharp and cont ...
We report on the magnetic and transport properties of thin films of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 as a function of annealing temperature, substrate material and film thickness. The films were sputtered from a stoichiometric target with the same nominal composition and were grown epitaxially o ...
