Direct measurement of the remanent polarization of high quality (001)-oriented epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films shows a strong strain dependence, even larger than conventional (001)-oriented PbTiO3 films. Thermodynamic analysis reveals that a strain-induced polarization rotation mechanism is responsible for the large change in the out-of-plane polarization of (001) BiFeO3 with biaxial strain while the spontaneous polarization itself remains almost constant.
对高质量(001)取向的外延BiFeO₃薄膜剩余极化的直接测量表明,其具有很强的应变依赖性,甚至比传统的(001)取向的PbTiO₃薄膜还要大。热力学分析表明,应变诱导的极化旋转机制是导致(001)BiFeO₃薄膜面外极化随双轴应变发生巨大变化的原因,而自发极化本身几乎保持不变。
