Abstract

Epitaxial films of lanthanum gallate, praseodymium gallate, and neodymium gallate were prepared on [100] strontium titanate and [100] lanthanum aluminate single crystal substrates using solution techniques. The solutions employed were mixed-metal methoxyethoxides in 2-methoxyethanol. Films were prepared by spin-coating with a partially hydrolyzed solution, followed by firing at 850 °C for 20 minutes in air. Theta/2-theta scans revealed only [h00] reflections and omega scans (rocking curves) indicated good out-of-plane orientation. Pole figures and phi scans revealed good in-plane orientation and a [100] || [100] epitaxial relationship between the film and the substrate.
