Engineered a/c domain patterns in multilayer (110) epitaxial Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin films: Impact on domain compliance and piezoelectric properties

Nava Setter, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Andrea Mazzalai, Mahamudu Mtebwa, Arnaud Robert André Crassous

While there is extensive literature on the influence of both compressive and tensile strain on the domain patterns of (001) tetragonal ferroelectric thin films, little is known regarding domain engineering in (110) films. The primary reason is the absence ...
