abstract = {The behaviour of point defects in thin, epitaxial films of
the oxide electrode SrRuO3 was probed by means of diffusion
measurements. Thin-film SrRuO3 was deposited by means of
pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (100) oriented, undoped
single crystal SrTiO3 substrates. 16O/18O exchange anneals
were employed to probe the behavior of oxygen vacancies.
Anneals were performed in the temperature range 850 ≤ T/K
≤ 1100 at an oxygen partial pressure of pO2 = 500 mbar.
Samples were subsequently analyzed by means of
Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS).
The measured oxygen isotope penetration profiles comprised,
surprisingly, two features. Oxygen tracer diffusion
coefficients Image ID:c4cp03632h-t1.gif determined for
thin-film SrRuO3 are amongst the lowest measured for
nominally undoped perovskite-type oxides. The activation
enthalpy of oxygen tracer diffusion was found to be Image
ID:c4cp03632h-t2.gif ≈ 2 eV. Diffusion of Ti from the
SrTiO3 substrates into the SrRuO3 thin films, probing the
cation defects, was also observed in ToF-SIMS profiles;
here, too, the diffusion profiles showed two features. The
activation enthalpy of titanium diffusion was found to be
ΔHDTi ≈ 4 eV. We propose a model–cation sublattice
equilibration–that accounts for the appearance of two
features in both anion and cation diffusion profiles. We
suggest that the observed complex behavior arises from the
metastable defect structure of PLD thin films and the
unusual defect structure of SrRuO3.},
