Highly (001)-textured BiFeO film in tetragonal phase (T-BFO) with a giant c/a ratio was first obtained on quartz/polycrystalline ITO substrate. Our results indicate that the polycrystalline ITO layer with small surface roughness is a critical point to control the growth of T-BFO structure. It should be ascribed to the fact that a Bi-rich phase interlayer (∼5 nm) could be formed on ITO, which acted as a crystal seed layer and thus induced the growth of (001)-textured T-BFO structure. The observed weak room temperature ferromagnetism should be attributed to Fe valence change. Open circuit potential measurements under 360 μW/cm full spectra irradiation show that the open circuit potential and the lifetime of photo-induced carriers increased under applied magnetic field, which reveals that the applied magnetic field can manipulate the photo electrochemical behaviors of BFO film. Our findings offer a simple way to fabricate highly (001)-textured T-BFO film, which make it desirable to obtain extensive applications for these oriented BFO films.

As a promising alternative to the mainstream CoFeB/MgO system with interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), 1-FePd and its synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) structure with large crystalline PMA can support spintronic devices with sufficient thermal stability at sub-5 nm sizes. However, the compatibility requirement of preparing 1-FePd thin films on Si/SiO wafers is still unmet. In this paper, we prepare high-quality 1-FePd and its SAF on Si/SiO wafers by coating the amorphous SiO surface with an MgO(001) seed layer.

The field-induced-phase transition in (NaBi)TiO-based lead-free piezoceramics can be facilitated in the ⟨001⟩-crystallographic orientation, and the templated grain growth is an effective method to align polycrystalline ceramics along with specific directions. However, due to the low texturing degree and undesirable composite effect of the added templates, the textured ceramics using the templated grain growth (TGG) method usually require a higher driving field to trigger the phase transition instead. Here, ⟨001⟩-textured (NaBi)BaTi(FeNb)O ceramics are prepared through a liquid-phase-assisted TGG process at a low sintering temperature (1000 °C), in which the NaNbO (NN) templates induce a strong crystallographic anisotropic structure (a high Lotgering factor of 95%) while dissolving into oriented grains.

Highly (001)-textured, photoactive WSe thin films have been prepared by an amorphous solid-liquid-crystalline solid process promoted by palladium. By increasing the thickness of the Pd promoter film (≥10 nm) the structure and texture of the WSe films can be improved significantly. However, these as-crystallized WSe films are only weakly photoactive in a 0.
