Abstract

We have grown thin films of La0.84Sr0.16MnO3 on SrTiO3 (100), MgO (100), CeO2 (100)/Al2O3, and (100) oriented yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates by using a 90°off-axis RF magnetron sputtering deposition. X-ray diffraction analysis and ion beam channeling experiments reveal that the deposited films grow epitaxially on SrTiO3, biaxially textured on MgO, and highly textured on YSZ. Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals that the thin films possess extremely smooth surfaces.
