Epitaxial control of polar order in perovskites

Seminar Friday, 08/10/2010 13:00 - 15:00

Speakers: Dr. Marina Tjunina (University of Oulu)
Place: Fyzikální ústav AV ČR, Pod vodárenskou věží 1, Praha 8, room 117
Presented in English
Organisers: Division of optics

Theoretically suggested concept of inducing or enhancing ferroelectric polarization in epitaxial strained films of perovskite structure oxides has been dominating over more than a decade. Unexpectedly, strain induced or enhanced relaxor behavior with the short-range polar order is often observed instead of the ferroelectric order.  In attempt to resolve this contradiction, we study epitaxial films of quantum paraelectrics, ferroelectrics, and relaxors. Recent results will be presented and discussed.
