摘要
Mn1.56Co0.96Ni0.48O4-delta thin films were deposited on MgO (100) substrate using laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) technique at the temperature range of 300-600 degrees C under oxygen partial pressure of 5 x 10(-3) Pa. The effect of growth temperature on microstructure and electrical properties as well as the growth mode were studied using XRD, RHEED, AFM and resistance-temperature measurements. The results showed that all prepared thin films underwent epitaxial growth along the single-(100) orientation direction of the MgO substrate from 3D-island mode to 2D layer-by-layer mode, and exhibited good crystallinity and NTC thermistor behavior. Their resistance at room temperature can be in the range of 10-50 M Omega together with a B-value of about 3300 K, which are desirable for a wide range of practical applications of the NTC thermistors.
