In addition, a process for preparing a layered structure includes solution deposition planarization of a rough substrate using different concentrations of metal oxide precursor to provide a metal oxide surface having a surface roughness, and then depositing MgO by IBAD (ion beam assisted deposition). A benefit of a better in plane MgO texture was observed for lower molarities, and when two solutions of different concentrations was employed for coating the rough substrate prior to IBAD-MgO. | 02-16-2012 |
