Abstract

Epitaxial BaTi3 films have been grown on NdGaO3 [100] substrates by reduced pressure MOCVD for the first time. The substrate temperature was 1000 °C and the total pressure was 4 Torr. Electron and x-ray diffraction measurements indicate highly textured, single phase films on the NdGaO3 substrate which are predominantly [100], with [110] also present. TEM and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) indicate two specific orientational relationships between the [110] and the [001] diffraction patterns.
