Method for the preparation of layered materials which contain one or more of the barium, strontium or calcium oxides or fluorides, by means of a deposition technique, characterized in that with the deposition technique one either starts with the volatile organic barium, strontium or calcium compounds according to one of the claims 1 through 6, corresponding with the respective metal oxides, or one starts with the volatile organic barium, strontium or calcium compounds according to claims 5 or 6, corresponding with the respective metal fluorides.
