Popis: CeO2 thin films were prepared on amorphous quartz glass substrates by the ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) technique at room temperature. In order to control both the in-plane and out-of-plane texture of the films, a special geometrical arrangement of the ion sources, the target, and the substrate was used. A new concept, considering the role of reflected particles from the target, which we call self-IBAD, was introduced. The structural properties of the CeO2 films were investigated by x-ray diffraction. Good biaxially textured films were obtained with out-of-plane mosaic spreads of 3.0° and in-plane alignment of 10.8°.
