Sumario: | We report the preparation and characterization of epitaxial LaNiO<sub>3</sub> (LNO) thin films by chemical solution deposition method using lanthanum and nickel acetylacetonates as starting reagents dissolved in propionic acid. In order to obtain further information regarding the decomposition behavior of the film, the precursor solution was dried to obtain the precursor powder, which was investigated by thermal analyses and X-ray diffraction measurements (XRD). The LNO perovskite thin films were deposited by spin coating on SrTiO<sub>3</sub>(100) single crystal substrates. A detailed study with different crystallization temperatures (600–900 °C) at two different heating ramps (5 and 10 °C/min) was performed. Oriented LaNiO<sub>3</sub> thin films with good out-of-plane textures were obtained with optimal surface morphologies. |
