Abstract

The pulsed laser deposition (PLD) growth processes of spinel lithium titanates, Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ and LiTi₂O ₄, on MgAl₂O₄ (111) substrates are investigated. Although a Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ target was used for the depositions, the Li/Ti atomic ratio of the species arriving at the substrate during deposition was only ∼0.5, enabling high quality LiTi ₂O₄ films to be prepared with a rocking curve full-width at half-maximum of ∼0.05°. The LiTi₂O₄ epitaxial thin films exhibited high conductivity at room temperature (∼3.0 × 10³ Ω^-1cm^-1) and a superconducting transition temperature of ∼13.3 K. These values are the highest recorded for epitaxial thin films. Moreover, the effect of collisions between the atoms in a plume were studied quantitatively. These results demonstrate the importance of the target composition, providing further insight into Licontaining metal-oxide deposition processes using PLD.
