Metal–oxide bilayer Raman scattering in SrTiO3 thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 cubic symmetry in single crystals. We suggest that strain exists in the films, which changes the crystal symmetry and will affect the dielectric properties of the SrTiO3 thin films. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~98!02725-9#

Observation of the First-Order Raman Scattering in SrTiO3 Thin Films
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 fi...

متن کاملElectric-field-induced soft-mode hardening in SrTiO3 films
We have studied electric-field-induced Raman scattering in SrTiO3 thin films using an indium-tin-oxide/SrTiO3/SrRuO3 structure grown by pulsed laser deposition. The soft mode polarized along the field becomes Raman active. Experimental data for electric-field-induced hardening of the soft modes and the tuning of the static dielectric constant are in agreement described by the Lyddane-Sachs-Tell...
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 ...

Bilayer Mg/Co and Mg/Mn (700nm) thin films were prepared using thermal evaporation method at pressure10 torr at room temperature. The films were rapid thermal annealed (RTA) using halogen lamp to get a homogeneous structure of thin films. The hydrogen gas was introduced in hydrogen chamber, where samples were kept at different pressure from 10 to 40 psi of H2 for thirty minutes. The conductivit...
