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.
