Description

Epitaxial PbZrO3 (PZ) and Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (PZT) films were prepared on epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) on SrTiO3(001) by pulsed laser deposition. PZ was deposited at low substrate temperature followed by in situ oxygen annealing. Similar to PZT, the PZ grows as a dense film, but it is rougher and has more pinholes than PZT as a result of the larger lattice mismatch with YBCO. Both YBCO/PZ and YBCO/PZT heterostructures exhibit sharp interfaces, with edge dislocations located close to the interface. (author)
