Abstract

By inserting a SrZrO3 buffer layer between the film and the substrate, we demonstrate a significant reduction of the threading dislocation density with an associated improvement of the electron mobility in La:BaSnO3 films. A room temperature mobility of 140 cm2 V-1s-1 is achieved for 25-nm-thick films without any postgrowth treatment. The density of threading dislocations is only 4.9 × 109 cm-2 for buffered films prepared on (110) TbScO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition.
