Abstract
We have succeeded in obtaining BaSnO3 perovskite thin films with remarkable near-infrared luminescence by van der Waals growth. The films were grown on quartz glass substrates by pulsed laser deposition using hexagonal boron nitride as the seed layer, and their crystallinity was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. The near-infrared emission of the grown film exhibited a broad emission peak centered at 920 nm. The transparency of the BaSnO3 film (thickness = 1000 nm)/ hexagonal boron nitride /double-sided optically polished quartz glass substrate was approximately 90% at approximately 500 nm with or without the BaSnO3 film. Films showing remarkable near-infrared emission and high transparency obtained by van der Waals-type growth could be used in practical wavelength conversion devices that improve the efficiency of Si single-crystal solar cells. The hexagonal boron nitride seed layer supporting the van der Waals growth is an effective method for high-quality crystal growth of films. It can be used for perovskite-type oxides with many functionalities.
