Abstrakt: We present an epitaxial stabilization of pyrochlore Bi2Rh2O7 on the Y-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) (111) substrate by inserting a pyrochlore Eu2Ti2O7 template layer, otherwise Bi-based layered structures being formed directly on the YSZ (111) substrate. This result reveals that "iso-structural crystal phase" plays an important role in the interfacial phase control. The Bi2Rh2O7 film exhibits p-type electrical conduction with the lowest longitudinal resistivity ( ρ xx ) among the reported Rh pyrochlore oxides. Such parameters as ρ xx , carrier density, and mobility show almost no temperature dependence in the measured range of 2–300 K. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
