Abstract
Epitaxial Sm2O3 thin films were deposited on (001) SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The structural and dielectric properties were investigated. Microstructural studies by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy showed that the Sm2O3 thin films have a cubic structure and an epitaxial relationship of (004)Sm2O3∥(002)SrTiO3 and [440]Sm2O3∥[200]SrTiO3. A high dielectric constant of 30.5 was found, which can be attributed to the cubic structure and the high crystalline quality and shows a potential application of epitaxial Sm2O3 thin film for high-k material.
