- Description
- Thin film epitaxy is essential for state-of-the-art semiconductor applications. The combination of different substrates and deposition methods leads to various crystallographic orientation relationships between thin films and substrates, which have a decisive impact on thin film performance. By utilizing pulsed laser deposition, we discovered a very high-index (714) - oriented NiO thin film when deposited on r-plane (1012) sapphire substrates. The in-plane epitaxial relations are [131] NiO||[1210] Sapphire and [112] NiO||[1011] Sapphire, and the lattice mismatch is 3.2% and 0.4% along two directions, respectively. Exchange bias studies by the deposition of Co on NiO (111) and NiO (714) show different behaviors, which may be associated with the spin density and alignment on the surface.
