Epitaxial thin films of BiScO3—a compound thermodynamically unstable under ambient conditions—were grown on BiFeO3-buffered SrTiO3 substrates. X-ray diffraction confirmed the reasonable crystalline quality of the films with a full width at half maximum of 0.58° in ω (004 reflection), 0.80° in ϕ (222...
