Abstract

One layer at a time: The sequential pulsed-laser deposition of CaO rock-salt and CaMnO3 perovskite layers on an SrTiO3 substrate allows the growth of the metastable n = 4, 5, and 6 members of the Can+1MnnO3n+1 Ruddlesden-Popper series (see high-resolution TEM image of Ca5Mn4O13). The growth process is monitored using reflection high-energy electron diffraction.
