Popis: We have focused our attention on the dependence of Ba1−xRbxBiO3 (BRBO) film composition ratio and film properties on rubidium‐beam‐flux intensity. BRBO films were deposited on MgO(100) substrates by molecular‐beam epitaxy (MBE) using distilled ozone. Systematic measurements showed that the rubidium content was nearly independent of rubidium‐beam‐flux intensity in a wide beam‐flux range. Therefore, it can be concluded that some degree of self‐control of rubidium stoichiometry is actually possible in BRBO film growth by MBE. This study also revealed that the BRBO film properties had strong dependences on rubidium‐beam‐flux intensity even in the range for self‐control of rubudium stoichiometry. Our study also clarified that rubidium‐beam flux affects the barium content in the BRBO film.
