Abstract
Pulsed laser epitaxy (PLE) has emerged as a pivotal technique in the fabrication of complex oxide thin films, offering unprecedented control over material composition and myriads of properties. Complex oxides exhibit various functionalities, such as high-Tc superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, and ferroelectricity, making them essential for advanced electromagnetic and optical applications. PLE facilitates the epitaxial growth of complex oxides using a high-power pulsed laser to ablate a solid target, generating a plume of material that is deposited onto a heated substrate. The process is highly adaptable and capable of achieving stoichiometric material in thin film form with high quality. This review explores the fundamental principles, system configurations, and essential growth parameters of PLE and highlights its role in advancing the field of complex oxide thin films.
期刊介绍:
Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international journal covering all the fields of applied science investigating the physics of the advanced materials for future applications.
Other areas covered: Experimental and theoretical aspects of advanced materials and devices dealing with synthesis or structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, photonics, engineering applications, and uniquely pertinent measurement or analytical techniques.
Current Applied Physics, published since 2001, covers physics, chemistry and materials science, including bio-materials, with their engineering aspects. It is a truly interdisciplinary journal opening a forum for scientists of all related fields, a unique point of the journal discriminating it from other worldwide and/or Pacific Rim applied physics journals.
Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review.
The Journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society.
