LSAT Wafer
Lattice-matched perovskite substrate for oxide epitaxy and superconducting thin films
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
• Cubic perovskite crystal structure
• Excellent lattice matching (a ≈ 3.868 Å)
• No phase transition over wide temperature range
• High chemical and thermal stability
• Low electrical conductivity (ideal for thin film devices)
• Epi-ready surface with ultra-low roughness (< 0.5 nm)
