Effects of Ga concentration, process conditions, and substrate materials on properties of ZnMgBeGaO ultraviolet-range transparent conducting films

Influence of choice of substrate and film thickness on magneto-optical properties of SmFeO3 thin films

“…Furthermore, the film crystallization is closely related to the structure and orientation of the substrate [11,12]. In general, polycrystalline films, without any preferred orientation, are usually obtained after crystallization at an amorphous substrate.…”

“…However, the quality, structure and properties of thin films depend on the substrate and film thickness. In particular, the growth orientation and grain size of films can be easily manipulated by the substrate lattice, which alters the physical properties of thin films [11][12][13]. The quartz-glass is often used as the substrate for growing the RFeO 3 (R = rare earth element) film due to the low cost of quartz-glass.…”
