The epitaxial Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6/MgO thin films with different layer thickness, but the same total thickness have been fabricated by RF-cathode sputtering. It has been determined that layer thickness decreasement leads to an increase in the unit cell strain, which is maintained if the thickness of the subsequent layers does not exceed the critical.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
