Remote Epitaxy of SrTiO<sub>3</sub> using Hybrid Molecular Beam Epitaxy
ORAL
Abstract
Line defects such as dislocations in heteroepitaxial films can have many undesirable consequences to the films’ electronic properties including carrier compensation and lower carrier mobilities. In this talk, we will discuss the remote epitaxy approach for the growth of SrTiO3 (STO) films on different substrates using hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The use of titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) as a source of both titanium and oxygen allowed the growth of epitaxial STO without oxidation of the graphene layer. STO could be exfoliated from the substrate as a freestanding membrane and transferred on to a flexible polymer substrate. We will discuss how the graphene interlayer effects the structural quality and strain relaxation, and its implications for defect management in heteroepitaxial thin films.
