Notes:
The first five members of the Srn+1TinO3n+1 Ruddlesden–Popper homologous series, i.e., Sr2TiO4, Sr3Ti2O7, Sr4Ti3O10, Sr5Ti4O13, and Sr6Ti5O16, have been grown by reactive molecular beam epitaxy. A combination of atomic absorption spectroscopy and reflection high-energy electron diffraction intensity oscillations were used for the strict composition control necessary for the synthesis of these phases. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscope images confirm that these films are epitaxially oriented and nearly free of intergrowths. Dielectric measurements indicate that the dielectric constant tensor coefficient ε33 increases from a minimum of 44±4 in the n=1(Sr2TiO4) film to a maximum of 263±2 in the n=∞(SrTiO3) film. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
