Electron beam deposition technique was used for formation of gadolinium doped ceria oxide (GDC) thin films. GDC thin films were grown by evaporating (Ce 0.9Gd 0.1)O 1.95 ceramic powder. Operating technical parameters that influence thin film microstructure and crystallite size were studied. The GDC...
