Abstract
Multi-phase vertically aligned nanocomposite (MP-VAN) thin films represent a promising avenue for achieving complex multifunctionality, exploring novel interfacial phenomena, and enabling complex metamaterial designs and exploration. In this study, a novel self-assembled all-oxides three-phase VAN system was conceptualized and fabricated utilizing pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with a single composite target. Detailed microstructural analysis reveals the presence of three distinct phases: LiNbO3, CeO2−x, and LiNbCe1−xOy within the MP-VAN films. Subsequently, ferroelectric, dielectric, optical anisotropy, and magnetic properties were systematically investigated to showcase the multifunctionality inherent in these films. This work presents a pioneering approach to designing and realizing MP-VAN systems, and opens up opportunities for tailoring the complex three-dimensional (3D) physical properties and property coupling of VAN films towards diverse device applications.
多相垂直排列纳米复合材料(MP-VAN)薄膜是实现复杂多功能性、探索新型界面现象以及进行复杂超材料设计和探索的一条大有可为的途径。本研究构思了一种新型自组装全氧化物三相 VAN 系统,并利用脉冲激光沉积(PLD)与单个复合目标进行了制造。详细的微观结构分析表明存在三种不同的相:LiNbO3、CeO2-x 和 LiNbCe1-xOy。随后,对这些薄膜的铁电、介电、光学各向异性和磁性能进行了系统研究,以展示其固有的多功能性。这项研究提出了一种设计和实现 MP-VAN 系统的开创性方法,并为定制 VAN 薄膜的复杂三维(3D)物理特性和特性耦合以实现各种器件应用提供了机会。
