title = "Atomic vapor deposition of bismuth titanate thin films",
abstract = "C-axis oriented ferroelectric bismuth titanate (Bi 4Ti 3O 12) thin films were grown on (001) strontium titanate (SrTiO 3) substrates by atomic vapour deposition technique. Ferroelectric properties of thin films are greatly affected by the presence of various kinds of defects. Detailed x-ray diffraction data (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed presence of out-of-phase boundaries (OPBs). These OPBs originate at atomic steps on the SrTiO 3 substrate surface. It is found that the OPB density changes appreciably with the amount of titanium injected during growth of the thin films.",
