Description

In this paper, the authors report the structural analysis of La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCo) / Pb0.9La0.1Zr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PLZT) multilayers grown with and without a bismuth titanate (Bi-Ti) template onto yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coated (001) Si substrates grown by laser ablation. The tetragonal PLZT was expected to have lattice parameters of approximately a = 0.406 nm and c = 0.411 nm, and the cubic LSCo to have a lattice parameter of 0.381 nm. The Bi-Ti layer was used because, with strongly two-dimensional growth, it was expected to form with the (001) basal plane parallel to the growth surface. Such a layered structure could then provide a template for the oriented growth of any subsequent layers
