Abstract

Thin films of barium titanate (BaTiOs) have been deposited by pulsed-laser ablation onto (001)-oriented MgO substrates. The films were epitactic as evidenced by both x-ray diffraction and ion-channeling techniques. The film surface appeared smooth and contained a low density of particulates. This latter feature is believed to be due to the formation of target pellets having a very high density.
