Abstract
Ferroelectric (Ba,Sr)TiO3 films have been deposited on (001) MgO single crystals by a pulsed laser deposition with oxygen background while heating the substrates. Deposited BST films exhibit epitaxial growth along (001), which are confirmed by x-ray diffraction measurement. Structure of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 along in-plane and surface normal direction have been investigated and found to have a tetragonal distortion depend on the deposition conditions, such as oxygen pressure. Lattice parameter decreases with increasing oxygen pressure, and tetragonallity (c/a) changes from 1.005 to 0.997 as oxygen pressure increase. Interestingly, energy gap measured by FTIR decreases with decreasing oxygen pressure until it reach a certain oxygen pressure, then increases again with increasing oxygen pressure. Furthermore, microwave properties of devices measured by a HP 8510C vector network analyzer from 0.045–20 GHz suggest that the least distorted films exhibit a larger dielectric constant changes with dc bias field.
