Abstract

ABSTRACTWe directly observed self-control crystallization of epitaxial BaTiO3 films during alternate depositions of BaO and TiO2. When TiO2 (or BaO) was supplied excessively, surface crystallinity and smoothness degraded due to three-dimensional (3D) growth. However, when the following BaO (or TiO2) was supplied onto the rough TiO2 (or BaO) surface, the surface smoothness was recovered drastically. It was found that a single phase BaTiO3 film grew by repeating the alternate deposition cycle of excessive supply of both BaO and TiO2. The mechanism of this phenomenon was discussed.
