Zusammenfassung: | Growth, structure and conductivity of epitaxial thin films of CaCuO2 (CCO) on SrTiO3, LaAlO3 and NdGaO3 substrates were investigated. The films were deposited by pulsed laser ablation from a single stoichiometric target at a pressure of 0.3 mbar and temperatures higher than 700 deg C. X-ray diffraction reveals that films on (110)NdGaO3 substrates are single crystals of high quality without twinning and with extremely narrow (less then 0.05 deg ) rocking curves. An expansion of the c-axis lattice constant is observed as Sr replaces Ca in CCO films. Transport measurements show that CCO films have a hopping conductivity for all films deposited on all the substrates with a resistivity within the range 10-1-104 Omegacm. |
