Realization of Single-Terminated Nano Step-and-Terrace-Like Surface of SrTio3 Single Crystals: Institute of Nano Science and Technology, Mohali

Oxide interfaces and superlattices are of growing interest because of their potential in next generation spin-electronic devices. To obtain high quality oxide interface and superlattice, atomically flat and well defined substrate surface is essential. We have developed a mild and chemical free process through which such high quality step-and-terrace-like surface of perovskite substrates can be achieved.
