Tailoring the properties of artificially layered ferroelectric superlattices

[en] The polarization of PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices is experimentally tuned from 0-60 mu C/cm(-2) and the transition temperature from room temperature to 1000 K while maintaining a perfect crystal structure and low leakage currents (see figure). A simple model based on Landau theory is developed as a guide for the straightforward production of samples with ferroelectric properties designed for particular applications.

All values are given in SI units (a1 = J m C-2, a11 = J m5 C-4, a111 = J m 9 C-6, gij = J m C-2, cij = J m-3). For PbTiO3: a1 = 3.8 × 10 5(T - 752), a11 = 4.229 × 108, a 111 = 2.6 × 108, C11 = 1.746 × 1011, C12 = 0.794 × 1011, g11 = 1.14 × 1010, g12 = 4.63 × 108. For SrTiO3: a1 = 7.45 × 105(T - 51.64) (This is a linear approximation that is only valid above - 100K), a11 = 2.02 × 109, c11 = 3.36 × 1011, c12 = 1.07 × 1011, g11 = 1.25 × 1010, g12 = -0.108 × 1010.
