Abstract

CeO2 interlayers were used to control growth behavior of Bi4Ti3O12 thin films on MgO(001) substrates. The CeO2 layer grown at 740 °C had a preferential orientation with its c-axis normal to the film surface, so it could be used to grow an epitaxial Bi4Ti3O12(001)/CeO2(001)/MgO(001) heterostructure. On the other hand, the CeO2 layer grown at 650 °C showed a mixed texture of (001) and (111), and this interlayer enabled us to get a preferentially oriented Bi4Ti3O12(117)/CeO2(111)MgO(001) multilayer structure.
