Solid-phase rare earth monoxides have been recently synthesized thin film epitaxy. However, it has been difficult to synthesize heavy rare earth monoxides owing to their severe chemical instability. In this study, rocksalt-type heavy rare earth monoxides REOs (RE = Tb, Dy, Er) were synthesized for the first time, as single-phase epitaxial thin films.

Cation deficiency tuning is a central issue in thin-film epitaxy of functional metal oxides, as it is typically more difficult than anion deficiency tuning, as anions can be readily supplied from gas sources. Here, highly effective internal deficiency compensation of Ru cations is demonstrated for CaRuO epitaxial films based on diffusive transfer of metal cations in the ABO Ruddlesden-Popper lattice from solid-phase cation sources. Through detailed structural characterization of CaRuO/LaAlO (001) thin films grown with external cation sources by solid-phase epitaxy, the occurrence of intercalation-like, interstitial diffusion of La cations (from the substrates) in the ABO structure is revealed, and that of Ru cations is also suggested.

Extensive ab initio density functional theory molecular dynamics calculations were used to evaluate stability conditions for relevant phases of InN. In particular, the p-T conditions of the thermal decomposition of InN and pressure-induced wurtzite-rocksalt solid-solid phase transition were established. The comparison of the simulation results with the available experimental data allowed for a critical evaluation of the capabilities and limitations of the proposed simulation method.

Epitaxial crystallization of complex oxides provides the means to create materials with precisely selected composition, strain, and orientation, thereby controlling their functionalities. Extending this control to nanoscale three-dimensional geometries can be accomplished via a three-dimensional analog of oxide solid-phase epitaxy, lateral epitaxial crystallization. The orientation of crystals within laterally crystallized SrTiO systematically changes from the orientation of the SrTiO substrate.

Room temperature lateral p-i-nlight-emitting diodes (LEDs) with photonic crystals embedded in the i-region were fabricated on structures with Ge(Si) self-assembled islands and their optical properties were investigated. The use of preliminary amorphization and solid phase epitaxy of the implanted pand ncontact regions made it possible to reduce the impurity activation temperature from 800 °С-1100 °С to 600 °С, which corresponds to the growth temperature of Ge(Si) islands. This resulted in a significant reduction of the detrimental effect of the high-temperature annealing used for diode formation on the intensity and spectral position of the luminescence signal from the islands.
