Abstract

The ferroelectric properties of anisotropically strained SrTiO3 films are analyzed by detailed measurements of the complex dielectric constant as function of temperature, frequency, bias voltage and electric field direction. The strain induces a relaxor-ferroelectric phase that persists up to room temperature. However, transition temperature and ferroelectric properties strongly depend on the orientation of the electric field and therefore on the amount of structural strain in the given electric field direction. Frequency and time dependent relaxation experiments reveal the presence and properties of polar nanoregions with randomly distributed directions of dipole moments in the film.
