title: Highly conductive films of layered ternary transition-metal nitrides.
abstract: Film studies: Epitaxial films of BaZrN(2) (see TEM image) and BaHfN(2) are grown by polymer-assisted deposition on SrTiO(3) (STO) substrates. The films are phase-pure, allowing the intrinsic physical properties of the ternary nitrides to be studied. From 5 to 300 K, the films exhibit metallic-like resistivity-temperature behavior, with large residual resistivity ratios.
