Abstract
The multisample film growth method on temperature-gradient substrate to optimize ferroelectric Sr xBa 1-xNb 2O 6 epitaxial thin films was investigated. The ellipsometry and piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) determined the optimal growth temperature for thin films on MgO(001) substrates to be 750°C. The variations in optical properties and ferroelectric domain structures were observed as function of growth temperature. The results from PFM show formation of uniform ferroelectric film for deposition temperatures above 750°C.
