In the scope of this thesis, I focused on SrTiO3 (ST)-based dielectric ceramic composites as a lead-free perovskite material, which holds great potential for use in various electronic components. Such materials are large-scale and fabricated under high energy requirements, indicating an increasing need for a more environmentally friendly processing method. …
SrTiO3 (STO) thin films are used as buffer layers that enable epitaxial integration of various functional oxides with silicon. When pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is used to grow STO on Si, a thin amorphous layer is formed at the STO-Si interface that limits the use of such heterostructures in certain …
