Abstract

We report a systematic study of the structural and dielectric properties of barium strontium titanate, Ba 0.6Sr 0.4T iO 3 (BST-0.4), films grown by pulsed laser deposition on LaAlO 3 and MgO substrates. By optimizing the processing conditions, choosing appropriate substrate materials, and constructing layered architectures, we have successfully deposited BST-0.4 films on both LaAlO 3 and MgO substrates with large dielectric nonlinearity and low dielectric loss. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses reveal that the dielectric tunability and the dielectric loss are closely related to the crystallinity of the BST-0.4 films. We have also observed that a small variation of D value, defined as the ratio of in-plane lattice constant/out-of-plane lattice constant, can result in a significantly large change of dielectric properties of the BST films.
