Deposition and characterization of La2Ti2O7 thin films via spray pyrolysis process

Todorovsky DS, Todorovska RV, Milanova MM, Kovacheva DG

Thin films of La2Ti2O7 have been deposited on fused silica and Si substrates by a spray pyrolysis method using ethylene glycol solution of La(III)-Ti(IV)-citrate complexes as starting material and O-2 as a carrier gas. The composition, crystal structure and morphology of the films are studied. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
