Lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO3) single crystal is currently the most important industrialized, large-size single crystal material for high-temperature superconducting thin film substrates. It is grown by the Czochralski method, and single crystals and substrates with a diameter of 2 inches and larger can be obtained. It matches well with high-temperature superconducting materials and lattices such as YBaCuO, has low dielectric constant and low microwave loss, so it is suitable for making high-temperature superconducting microwave electronic devices (such as high-temperature superconducting microwave filters in telecommunication). There are huge reality and potential application prospects.
