Abstract

Compositionally asymmetric tri-color superlattices (TCS) with a combination of BaTiO₃/SrTiO₃/CaTiO₃ have been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on atomically-flat SrRuO₃-covered (001) SrTiO₃ substrates. Conducting SrRuO₃ films with single-terrace steps that closely mimic those of the SrTiO₃ substrate also were grown by PLD and serve as bottom electrodes. In order to achieve atomic control of each layer, we have calibrated precisely the number of laser pulses required to grow one unit-cell-thick layers (-200 for a laser spot of 0.4 mm²). These conditions allowed recording of pronounced oscillations of the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) specular spot intensity over the entire growth run - even for TCS layers totaling more than 1000 run in total thickness.
