Synthesis of epitaxial TaO thin films on AlO by suboxide molecular-beam epitaxy and thermal laser epitaxy
Yorick A. Birkhölzer, Anna S. Park, Noah Schnitzer +28
Tantalum dioxide (TaO2) is a metastable tantalum compound. Here, we report the epitaxial stabilization of TaO2 on Al2O3 (1-102) (r-plane sapphire) substrates using suboxide molecul…

Preparation and evaluation of alexandrite, forsterite, and topaz substrates for the epitaxial growth of rutile oxides
Monique Kubovsky, Yorick A. Birkhölzer, Luka B. Mitrovic +3
Metal-insulator transitions and superconductivity in rutile-structured oxides hold promise for advanced electronic applications, yet their thin film synthesis is severely hindered…
