Abstract

Epitaxial PrBa2Cu3O7 superconductor/ferroelectric bismuth titanate heterostructures grown on [001] oriented LaAlO3 by pulsed laser deposition are being studied. X-ray diffraction studies of the heterostructures have shown that all the layers grow in the c-axis orientation. In this investigation, the early stages of ferroelectric film growth have been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of crosssectioned samples. High resolution lattice imaging has been carried out to study the atomic structure of the ferroelectric/superconductor growth interface and the defect structure of the ferroelectric film.
