Abstract
Ba β-alumina films were prepared by laser chemical vapor deposition. Mostly single-phase Ba β-alumina films were obtained at 1125-1200K and for an Al/Ba molar ratio of 12.4-16.6. BaAl2O4 and α-Al2O3 were codeposited with Ba β-alumina under Ba- and Al-rich conditions, respectively. The Ba β-alumina films consisted of hexagonal grains, and the (110)-oriented Ba β-alumina films had a fin-like columnar structure. The highest deposition rate reached 120μmh-1 at around 1200K. A thin layer of Ba-rich superstructure was formed on the surface of the (110)-oriented columnar grains.
