Anisotropic-strain-relaxation-induced crosshatch morphology in epitaxial SrTiO3/NdGaO3 thin films
We investigate the strain relaxation and surface morphology of epitaxial SrTiO3 (STO) films grown on (001)O and (110)O planes of orthorhombic NdGaO3 (NGO), and (001) plane of cubic (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 (LSAT) substrates. Although the average lattice mismatches are similar, strikingly regular cr...
