Observation of the First-Order Raman Scattering in SrTiO3 Thin Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied lattice dynamic properties of SrTiO3 thin films from 5 to 300 K using metaloxide bilayer Raman scattering. First-order zone-center optical phonons, symmetry forbidden in single crystals, have been observed in the thin films, indicating strain-induced lowering of symmetry. The asymmetric line shape of the TO2 phonon is interpreted as evidence for micropolar regions in the thin films, likely due to oxygen vacancies. The optical phonon lines and the asymmetry persist up to room temperature. [S0031-9007(99)09277-7]

Metal–oxide bilayer Raman scattering in SrTiO3 thin films
We have used a metal–oxide bilayer Raman scattering technique to study lattice dynamics in SrTiO3 thin films. The SrTiO3 thin films were epitaxially grown on a conducting metal–oxide layer which reflects the exciting laser beam so that it does not enter the LaAlO3 substrate. Raman scattering from the SrTiO3 thin films was clearly observed, including the first-order Raman peaks forbidden by the ...

متن کاملSOFT-MODE PHONONS in SrTiO3 THIN FILMS STUDIED by FAR-INFRARED ELLIPSOMETRY and RAMAN SCATTERING
We report the experimental studies of the vibrational spectra of SrTiO3 films with the thickness of 1 μm grown by pulsed laser deposition. Fourier-transform infrared ellipsometry between 30 and 700 cm and electric field-induced Raman scattering techniques have been utilized for investigation of the phonon behavior. These results can be used for comparison with the low-frequency measurements of ...
متن کاملRaman Spectroscopy of Ferroelectric Thin Films and Superlattices
Recent results of Raman spectroscopy studies of lattice dynamics and phase transitions in ferroelectric thin films and superlattices are reviewed. Raman studies of SrTiO3, BaTiO3, and BaxSr1−xTiO3 thin films in comparison to corresponding single crystals are presented; essential differences in the lattice dynamics behavior of thin films and single crystals are discussed. Application of ultravio...
متن کاملRaman Study of Oxygen Reduced and Re-Oxidized Strontium Titanate
We report Raman study of oxygen-reduced single crystal strontium titanate. Oxygen reduction leads to the appearance of the forbidden first order Raman peaks, as well as new spectral features attributed to the local vibrational modes associated with oxygen vacancies. This assignment is supported by ab initio calculations of phonon modes in SrTiO3 with introduced oxygen vacancies. Raman studies o...
