Ferroelectricity in ultra-thin perovskite films
We report studies of ferroelectricity in ultra-thin perovskite films with realistic electrodes. The results reveal stable ferroelectric states in thin films less than 10 Å thick with polarization normal to the surface. Under short-circuit boundary conditions, the screening effect of realistic electrodes and the influence of real metal/oxide interfaces on thin film polarization are investigated....
متن کاملFerroelectricity in strain-free SrTiO3 thin films.
Biaxial strain is known to induce ferroelectricity in thin films of nominally nonferroelectric materials such as SrTiO3. By a direct comparison of the strained and strain-free SrTiO3 films using dielectric, ferroelectric, Raman, nonlinear optical and nanoscale piezoelectric property measurements, we conclude that all SrTiO3 films and bulk crystals are relaxor ferroelectrics, and the role of str...

متن کاملEnhancement of ferroelectricity in strained BaTiO3 thin films.
Biaxial compressive strain has been used to markedly enhance the ferroelectric properties of BaTiO3 thin films. This strain, imposed by coherent epitaxy, can result in a ferroelectric transition temperature nearly 500 degrees C higher and a remanent polarization at least 250% higher than bulk BaTiO3 single crystals. This work demonstrates a route to a lead-free ferroelectric for nonvolatile mem...
متن کاملFerroelectricity and tetragonality in ultrathin PbTiO3 films.
The evolution of tetragonality with thickness has been probed in epitaxial c-axis oriented PbTiO3 films with thicknesses ranging from 500 down to 24 A. High resolution x ray pointed out a systematic decrease of the c-axis lattice parameter with decreasing film thickness below 200 A. Using a first-principles model Hamiltonian approach, the decrease in tetragonality is related to a reduction of t...
