摘要: Abstract The epitaxial cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) thin films were deposited on yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) (100) substrates at various substrate temperatures (673–973 K), energy densities (1–5 J/cm and repetition rates (5–30 Hz) with an optimized oxygen partial pressure of 3 Pa, by pulsed laser deposition technique. characterized X-ray diffraction atomic force microscopy to study the influence temperature, fluence rate epitaxy, growth mode surface morphology. studies revealed nature CeO (200) ‖ YSZ (100)) in temperature range 673–973 K. prepared low (1–3 (1–25 also indicated fully nature, whereas higher density (≥ 4 (30 deviation from epitaxy. showed formation dense uniform nanocrystallites smooth root mean square roughness increased increase rate.
