Abstract

In epitaxial ferroelectric thin films under tensile strain, a transition from 180° domains to 90° domains can be achieved by increasing the film thickness. In many cases, the 90° a/c domains appear in the form of wide c-domains separated by narrow astripes. We have deposited thin films of PbTiO₃ on DyScO₃ substrates and show that the condition of horizontal coherence forces the a-domains to adopt discrete sizes, the smallest of which is substrate-independent and depends only on the tetragonality of the ferroelectric film. Growing PbTiO₃ on DyScO₃, we have achieved the narrowest (6 nm) possible a-domains, as well as the shortest periodicity that allows to maintain the lateral coherence in the film.
