Abstract
A single crystalline thin film of Ba2Ti6O13 was grown on the (210) surface of a SrTiO3 single-crystal substrate by pulsed laser deposition. Scanning transmission electron microscopy shows that the Ba2Ti6O13 thin film grew epitaxially with the a-plane, and the b-/c-axes of Ba2Ti6O13 parallel to the (210) plane and the [00-1]/[-120] directions of SrTiO3, respectively. The electrical conductance of the Ba2Ti6O13 film was approximately one order larger than that of reduced SrTiO3-δ single crystal with oxygen deficiency of roughly δ = 0.05. Electronic structure calculations predict that δ is an n-type degenerate semiconductor with spin-split states primarily of Ti 3d orbital.
