Abstract

La 2/3-xLi 3xTiO 3 (LLT, x = 0.1 and 0.167) thin films were grown on (001)-oriented SrTiO 3 (STO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The resultant LLT films were heteroepitaxially grown with atomically flat surfaces. Although the films considered to be single crystalline, they were composed of 90°-rotated multi domains (∼5 nm in size) with epitaxial relationships of (100) [001] LLT ∥ (001) [100] STO and (100) [010] LLT ∥ (001) [100] STO. The bulk conductivity of the LLT (x = 0.1) films was 2.5 × 10 -2 S cm -1 at 190 °C, comparable to that of a bulk single crystalline LLT. Single crystalline LLT thin films with atomically flat surfaces should help clarify interfacial lithium-ion conductivity.
