Abstract

Ba0.44Sr0.56TiO3 (BST) thin films with various thicknesses were epitaxially grown on Pt/MgO(100) substrates with rf magnetron sputtering. The thickness dependence of lattice constant, D-E hysteresis and dielectric constant were evaluated for the BST films. The lattice constant in the thickness direction is elongated through the thickness range (33 to 221 nm), whereas the ferroelectric and the dielectric properties had strong thickness dependencies. The mechanism of the induced ferroelectricity is discussed in terms of the thickness dependence and deposition technique.
