Abstract :The use of domain stability maps for epitaxial perovskite ferroelectric films is illustrated with some examples. The equilibrium domain structure and domain fractions as a function of temperature are predicted for PbTiO3insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(001); films grown epitaxially on three different substrates: MgOinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(001);, KTaO3insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(001);, and SrTiO3insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(001);. Misfit dislocation formation at the growth temperature is found to have a profound effect on both the domain selection and relative domain populations. Theoretical predictions are compared with available experimental data.
