Abstract
Lithium niobate thin films were deposited on (0001) sapphire using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. An organometallic compound, formed by reaction of lithium dipivaloylmethanate and niobium(V) ethoxide, was used as a single-source precursor. The epitaxial nature of the films was established by x-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering analyses (RBS).Keywords
