Epitaxial Thin Films Grown Coherently with Minimal Defects

An Oak Ridge National Laboratory research team has successfully grown epitaxial thin films with minimal defects. These films are used in fabrication of semiconductors and in nanotechnology applications. The researchers have discovered an elusive strain relaxation phenomenon in cobaltites which may lead to better energy-related materials, fuel cells, and magnetic sensors.
