Abstract
Self-assembled complex oxide nanostructures have been synthesized by pulsed laser deposition. A single ceramic target with a molar ratio of was used. Spinel and perovskite phases spontaneously separated during heteroepitaxial growth on a single-crystal substrate. The nanostructures are epitaxial in-plane as well as out-of-plane, with nanopillar arrays embedded in a matrix. The nanopillars have uniform size and spacing and nearly circular cross section. As the substrate temperature increases from 750 to , the average diameter of the pillars increases from to .
