Size Effects in BaTiO3 Thin Films

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

The size effects were studied by the measurement of optical transmittance, Raman spectra and mechanical dissipation in BaTiO3 films. The variation of energy gap, Raman peaks, Curie temperature with film thickness and grain size was observed and the possible origin was analyzed.
