摘要
In the present study stoichiometric, b-axis oriented La5Ca9Cu24O41 thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on (1 1 0) SrTiO3 substrates in the temperature range 600-750 degrees C. High resolution transmission electron microscopy was employed to investigate the growth mechanism and the epitaxial relationship between the SrTiO3 substrates and the La5Ca9Cu24O41 films grown at 700 degrees C. The 3-omega method was used to measure the cross-plane thermal conductivity of La5Ca9Cu24O41 films in the temperature range 50-350 K. The observed glass-like behavior is attributed to atomic-scale defects, grain boundaries and an interfacial layer formed between film and substrate. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
