thin films were prepared by pulsed-laser deposition at varying growth conditions. It was found that the growth and microstructure of the films is highly dependent on the target composition, deposition temperature, and the reactive atmosphere during laser ablation. The x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopic measurements indicated the high-structural quality of the grown thin films. A phase diagram mapping the effect of temperature on the microstructure of thin films has been proposed. The measurements of charge-discharge profiles of Li microcells using the films grown at demonstrate their possible applications in microbatteries. A stable capacity of was obtained in the potential range of for films grown at .
