Growth mechanism of PTO on MgO at initial stage
Growth mechanism of a lead titanate (PbTiO3, PTO) thin film at the initial stage has been made clear. The mechanism is strongly affected by accumulation and release of stress. Flatness of the surface and the crystallographic orientation of the PTO film change with growth mode. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
