We report pulsed laser deposition (PLD) synthesis of epitaxial and polycrystalline monoclinic bismuth vanadate (BiVO4, BVO) thin films. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the samples. Epitaxia...
