Abstract

Epitaxial (001)-, (116)- and pseudo (103)-oriented Sr0.35Bi2.2Ta2O9 (SBT (0.35/2.2/2.0)) films were successfully grown on (001), (110) and (111) SrTiO3 substrates, respectively. High-resolution X-ray diffraction reciprocal space mapping (HRXRD-RSM) measurements and pole figure measurements clearly indicated that the (116)-oriented SBT (0.35/2.2/2.0) film consisted of two growth domains those c-axis are separated 180° apart in in-plane and pseudo (103)-oriented SBT film consisted of three growth domains those c-axis are separated 120° apart in in-plane. Moreover, lattice parameter measurements indicated that SBT films grew in fully relaxed state.
