LiAl 5 O 8 films were prepared by laser chemical vapor deposition, and the effect of the deposition temperature (T dep ) on the orientation, microstructure, and deposition rate was investigated. In the T dep range of 9801040 K, highly (110)-oriented LiAl 5 O 8 film comprising flake-like grains elongated to [110] with flatter face of (111) formed at the maximum deposition rate of 70¯m h ¹1 . Above T dep = 1050 K, dense LiAl 5 O 8 films slightly oriented to (100) were deposited with faceted columnar grains of pyramidal and terrace shapes. The electrical properties of the LiAl 5 O 8 films were examined using AC impedance spectroscopy. The complex plane plots of the dense LiAl 5 O 8 film consisted of a semicircle associated with the bulk response and an inclined spike, suggesting the ionic conduction in the LiAl 5 O 8 film.
