摘要: Enhancement of remanent polarization has been demonstrated in epitaxial “asymmetric” BaTiO3/SrTiO3 strained superlattices, which the thickness ratio BaTiO3 to SrTiO3 layers is changed at molecular layer order accuracy. The superlattices have prepared on Nb-doped (100) single-crystal substrates by a pulsed-laser deposition technique. superlattice with stacking periodicity 15 unit cells BaTiO3/3 shows largest 2Pr 46 μC/cm2, about three times that single-phase film formed under same condition. increase attributed both BaTiO3-rich structure and lattice parameter c due mismatch in-plane parameters between SrTiO3.
