New Parameter in Polymer - Assisted Sol - Gel Deposition

In this work a new parameter for the Polymer Assisted Sol- Gel Deposition method is proposed. It is shaking of the sol stabilized by the polymer prior to the deposition. It was found in attempt to decrease the amount of [111]- oriented CeO2 grains on a monocrystalline substrate SrTiO3 (001). It was found that the shaking decreases this amount significantly.
