Abstract

Pulsed laser ablation has been used to deposit thin perovskite films based on the formula: SrFeO2.5+x (x = 0 to ≈ 0.5). Good quality films have been deposited on (1102) and AT cut quartz substrates at temperatures ranging from 300 to 1130 K. Films grown below 770 K showed little or no preferential crystallinity. Temperatures around 913 K produced films predominantly oriented (200), while temperatures greater than 1000 K produced films with (110) orientation. Films were grown from pellets of two compositions (SrFeO2.5, and SrFeO≈3). The former had a higher ablation threshold than the latter. The atmosphere during cooling had a greater effect on the film's oxygen content than the growth atmosphere. Films cooled in vacuum had the brownmillerite structure (x=0), whereas films cooled in 53.3 kPa oxygen had the cubic perovskite structure (x≈0.5).
