Abstract

Epitaxial and polycrystalline thin films of bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics, SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN) and SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT), were prepared on single-crystal SrTiO3(001) and polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates, respectively, by the coating-pyrolysis process. The epitaxial relationship of the films and substrates was SBN, SBT (001)//SrTiO3(001) and SBN, SBT [100]//SrTiO3[100],[010], where pseudotetragonal indices were adopted for SBN and SBT. The lattices of the epitaxial films were found to be slightly strained owing to stress from the substrate. Atomic force microscopy observations showed that the epitaxial films as well as polycrystalline films consisted of round-shaped, islandlike grains of submicrometer size.
