Hi,

I have been doing a little bit of literature research about deposition
of BST-5 films on MgO substrates and have found that most the films are
deposited using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) systems instead of RF
Sputtering.  I was under the understanding that RF sputtering was superior
than PLD because it provides smoother surfaces, better uniformity, higher
breakdown voltage, and lower losses.  Why is PLD then chosen as the
deposition method for MgO substrates?
