Abstract
Epitaxial ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9(SBT) thin films with a well-defined crystallographic orientation state consisting of a mix of (100) and (116) orientations have been grown on (110)-oriented SrLaGaO4(SLG) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray pole figure analyses revealed the presence of two epitaxial orientation relationships, viz. SBT(100)∥SLG(110); SBT[001]∥SLG[001] and SBT(116)∥SLG(110); SBT[110]∥SLG[001]. By calculating the integrated intensity of certain x-ray diffraction peaks, it was established that the crystallinity and the in-plane orientation of the (100) and (116) orientation are maximized at a substrate temperature of 775 and 788 °C, respectively, and that the volume fraction of the (100) orientation at about 770 °C reached about 60%.
