Abstract
Epitaxial films of single-layer SnO2 and PbTiO3/SnO2 heterostructures were obtained on (0001) sapphire (α-Al2O3) substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the structural properties of these films. The epitaxial relationship for the heterostructure PbTiO3/SnO2/sapphire was found to be (111) [011]PbTiO3 ‖ (100) [001]SnO2 ‖ (0001) [1100]α-Al2O3. The fact that epitaxial ferroelectric films were obtainable in such a structurally highly heterogeneous system suggests that a wide range of material selection is possible in exploring the kind of applications that need to utilize epitaxial ferroelectric films in a multilayered heterostructure.
