Versatile fluoride substrates for Fe-based superconducting thin films

Versatile fluoride substrates for Fe-based superconducting thin films

We demonstrate the growth of Co-doped BaFe2As2 (Ba-122) thin films on CaF2 (001), SrF2 (001), and BaF2 (001) single crystal substrates using pulsed laser deposition. All films are grown epitaxially despite of a large misfit of −10.6% for BaF2 substrate. For all films, a reaction layer is formed at the …
