Epitaxial lithium niobate (LNO) thin films are an attractive material for devices across a broad range of fields, including optics, acoustics, and electronics. These applications demand high-quality thin films without in-plane growth domains to reduce the optical/acoustical losses and optimize efficiency. Twin-free single-domain-like growth has been achieved previously, but it requires specific growth conditions that might be hard to replicate. In this work, a versatile nanocomposite-seeded approach is demonstrated as an effective approach to grow single-domain epitaxial lithium niobate thin films. Films are grown through a pulsed laser deposition method and growth conditions are optimized to achieve high-quality epitaxial film. A comprehensive microstructure characterization is performed and optical properties are measured. A piezoelectric acoustic resonator device is developed to demonstrate the future potential of the nanocomposite-seeded approach for high-quality LNO growth for radio frequency (RF) applications.
