“…Note that single-crystalline BTO is tetragonal (a=b=3.994 Å, c=4.033 Å) 24 and single-crystalline CTO is orthorhombic (a=5.442 Å, b=5.380 Å, c=7.640 Å, and pseudo-cubic a c =3.826 Å) 25 at room temperature. The alternation of compressive and tensile strains, which are induced in BTO and CTO layers by STO (cubic, a=3.905 Å) substrates, respectively, can effectively cancel out their opposite-directional mechanical tension, so the (BTO)n/(CTO)n SLs might be expected to better preserve a fully strained state when the layer thicknesses are properly combined, as shown in Fig.…”
