Er silicides formed during the deposition were eliminated via the annealing, which resulted in the single phase and the smooth surface of the Er2O3 thin films. The epitaxial relationship between Si (100) and Er2O3 (110) is clarified by X-ray diffraction and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED).}, pages = {241--246}, title = {Growth of single-phase nanostructured Er2O3 thin films on Si (100) by ion beam sputter deposition}, volume = {283}, year = {2015} }
