Abstract

The structural characteristics of SrRuO3 thin films deposited on a (001) SrTiO3 substrate by pulsed laser were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM. TEM studies of cross-sectional specimens revealed the epitaxial growth of the films with the SrRuO3-(110) plane parallel to the SrTiO3-(001) plane. Two types of 90° rotational domain structures were observed in both cross-sectional and plan-viewing specimens. The in-plane orientations of these domains with respect to the substrate are either of SrRuO3-[110] // SrTiO3 - [100] and SrRuO3-[001] // SrTiO3-[010], or of SrRuO3-[110] // SrTiO3-[010] and SrRuO3-[001] // SrTiO3-[100].
