Ferroelectric domains in epitaxial PbxSr1−xTiO3 thin films investigated using X-ray diffraction and piezoresponse force microscopy

We present a detailed study of compressively strained PbxSr1−xTiO3 thin films grown by off-axis radio frequency magnetron sputtering on (001)-oriented Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates. Film tetragonality and the ferroelectric critical temperatures are measured for samples of different composition and thic...
