Searching for a route to synthesize in situ epitaxial Pr2Ir2O7 thin films with thermodynamic methods

Abstract In situ growth of pyrochlore iridate thin films has been a long-standing challenge due to the low reactivity of Ir at low temperatures and the vaporization of volatile gas species such as IrO3(g) and IrO2(g) at high temperatures and high P O2. To address this challenge, we combine thermodyn...
