Study of Barium Titanate Epitaxy on Silicon toward Its Application in Video Holography KU Leuven
Barium titanate (BTO), being a ferroelectric material, showed large Pockels effect upon exerting electric field unto the material. In order to have large Pockels effect, the good crystallinity of the film must be obtained by carefully epitaxial growth on the silicon substrate. One of the main topics in this PhD study will be focusing on using MBE and PLD for good oxide epitaxial layer growth. The good crystallinity BTO film will be used in ...
