Precise arrays of sub-100 nm diameter nanodots are fabricated from magnetic oxide perovskites with the total coverage area up to 5 mm2. Epitaxial single crystal structure of the nanodots is demonstrated by cross-sectional TEM. Low temperature MFM study confirmed the ferromagnetism of the produced particles.
We have studied structural and transport properties of epitaxial NaxCoO2 thin films on (0001) sapphire substrate prepared by topotaxially converting an epitaxial Co3O4 film to NaxCoO2 with annealing in Na vapor. The films are c axis oriented and in-plane aligned with [10 1 0] NaxCoO2 rotated by 30 degrees from [10 1 0] sapphire. Different Na vapor pressures during the annealing resulted in films with different Na concentrations, which showed distinct transport properties.
