Growth of Bismuth 2201 LPE films by dipping without substrate rotation
Abstract
Growth of LPE films usually involves substrate rotation to moderate the melt/interface growth kinetics. This method works very well for growth of magnetic materials by LPE and thus adopted subsequently for superconductors. In practice the greater the difference between growth rotation and the extraction rotation, the more difficult the process. Also slow rotations, which are often needed in LPE growth, are more difficult to control. Here we report the growth of Bi 2201 thin films by LPE without substrate rotation.
