Laser Deposition of Oriented Bimevox Films
The oxygen-ion conducting ceramics Bi2VO5.5 and Bi2Cu0.1V0.9O5.35 were synthesized and deposited on several substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique. Defect-free films of Bi2Cu0.1V0.9O5.35 were obtained on SrTiO3 substrates, while films of Bi2VO5.5 exhibited severe cracking. Reasons for the different results are discussed.
