Description

Single-crystal thin films of SrFeO2, which is an oxygen-deficient perovskite with ''infinite layers'' of Fe2+O2, were prepared by using CaH2 for low-temperature reduction of epitaxial SrFeO2.5 single-crystal films deposited on KTaO3 substrates. This reduction process, removing oxygen ions from the perovskite structure framework and causing rearrangements of oxygen ions, topotactically transforms the brownmillerite SrFeO2.5 to the c-axis oriented SrFeO2
