Abstract
We present structural investigations of Pr2O3 films grown epitaxially on Si(001) and Si(111) using ultrahigh vacuum electron beam evaporation. On (001) oriented Si surfaces, crystalline Pr2O3 grows as (110)-domains, with two orthogonal in-plane orientations, while perfect epitaxial growth is obtained on Si(111). We find that the structural quality of crystalline Pr2O3 films on Si(001) degrades and interfacial layer forms over time due to air exposure at room temperature. We show that the crystalline quality of the films can be stabilized by capping with Si. The structural degradation can be restored and stabilized by a short anneal in N2. The temperature dependence of this recrystallization process is studied by in-situ XRD measurements.
