Description

🔷 Overview

LSAT ((La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O₃) wafer is a cubic perovskite single crystal widely used as a substrate for epitaxial growth of oxide thin films.

It offers excellent lattice matching (~3.868 Å) with a wide range of perovskite materials and exhibits high thermal stability without phase transition over a broad temperature range.

This makes LSAT an ideal substrate for superconductors, ferroelectrics, and complex oxide heterostructures.

 

🔷 Key Features
