Temperature dependence surface structure of BaTiO3 thin films induced by ferroelectric phase transition

The measurements of SbSCl x I 1-x(x = 0.2) temperature dependent capacitance were carried out. The temperature of ferroelectric phase transition TC ≈340 K was measured experimentally. TC of SbSCl x I 1-x was calculated theoretically in anharmonic and harmonic approximations. TC was calculated in anharmonic approximation using temperature dependence of mean potential energy of Sb atoms as a function of the soft B1u symmetry normal coordinate along c(z)-axis. Moreover, TC was calculated in harmonic approximation using temperature dependence of vibrational thermodynamic functions (Helmholc free energy). TC dependence from unit cell parameters a, b and from mixture composition x was carried out.

Abstract The predictions obtained with a thermodynamical method are compared with experimental results. Several materials which pass a ferroelectric phase transition of first or second order are investigated. The predictions correspond well with the experimentaly determined qualitative and quantitative features as to the field and temperature dependence. Finally, extraordinary strain-field curves are predicted and proved.

Model Hamiltonian

ABSTRACTThe macroscopic polarization of ferroelectric thin films was studied by Monte Carlo simulations using a Transverse Ising Model Hamiltonian with four-spins interactions. The dependence of the ferroelectric phase transition temperature, Tc, on the thickness of the film was obtained resulting in a shifting of Tc towards lower temperatures and a change from first-order to second-order phase transition as the thickness of the film is reduced. Comparison between the surface and internal order was carried out by the calculation of layer-averaged polarizations as a function of the sample temperature and the surface interaction parameters. These comparisons show that increasing disorder at the surface can be reverted by increasing the four-spins surface interactions.
