Abstract

Ordered corundum oxides offer promising alternatives to traditional perovskites in functional oxide thin films. Here, the authors utilize layer-by-layer growth to fabricate CrVO3 superlattice thin films, achieving atomic-scale precision and stabilizing the ilmenite phase, potentially expanding the range of customizable rhombohedral oxides with unique properties.
