title: Topotactic phase transformation of the brownmillerite SrCoO2.5 to the perovskite SrCoO3- δ.
abstract: Pulsed laser epitaxy of brownmillerite SrCoO2.5 thin films and their phase transformation to the perovskite SrCoO3-δ are investigated. While the direct growth of the fully oxidized perovskite films is found to be an arduous task, filling some of oxygen vacancies into SrCoO2.5 by topotactic oxidation accompanies systematic evolution of electronic, magnetic, and thermoelectric properties, useful for many information and energy technologies.
