Abstract

Uniformity of lattice misfit strain was quantitatively evaluated in heteroepitaxial (Ba, Sr)TiO3 films which were deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 substrates. Due to lattice misfit strain, the (Ba, Sr)TiO3 films had a 3% longer c-axis than the inherent bulk of (Ba0.75Sr0.25)TiO3. As analyzed by Hall's theory, the uniformity of the strain was 0.3% of the c-axis (0.413 nm) and 9% of the elongation of the c-axis (0.015 nm). It was suggested by the comparative study of two specimens that there is a strong correlation between the quality of the ferroelectric hysteresis loop and the uniformity of the misfit strain in heteroepitaxial (Ba,Sr)TiO3 films.
