Abstract

The strain state and its coupling to dielectric behavior have been investigated for {100} BST thin films deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si at 640 °C. It is estimated from x-ray diffraction that the in-plane biaxial strain is approximately 0.7%. We postulate that this is of sufficient magnitude to confine any spontaneous polarization to the plane of the film. The thickness-corrected dielectric behavior perpendicular to the substrate for these samples shows evidence of coupling to such an in-plane phase transition at approximately 390 K, as manifested by deviation from Curie-Weiss-like behavior at this temperature.
