Abstract

Epitaxial thin films of LaLuO3 were deposited on SrTiO 3(100) and SrRuO3/SrTiO3(100) or SrRuO 3/LaAlO3(100) substrates using pulsed-laser deposition. They were investigated by means of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Smooth, c-axis oriented films with a channeling minimum yield of 3% were obtained. The electrical characterization of Au/LaLuO3/SrRuO 3/SrTiO3(100) and Au/LaLuO3/SrRuO 3/LaAlO3(100) metal-insulator-metal capacitor stacks revealed a dielectric constant of κ>45 and a breakdown field of 2 MV/cm for 100 nm thick epitaxial LaLuO3 films.
