BaTiO(3) films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering at substrate temperatures between 450^∘C and 750^∘C and analyzed by means of XRD, optical transmittance and Raman spectroscopy.

The films prepared at 450^∘C exhibit a distinct close-range order but no higher-order XRD reflexes. The films prepared below or above 650^∘C grow preferentially in (100)- or (110)-direction, respectively. The position of the XRD-reflexes is closest to those of the hexagonal phase. Raman spectra exhibit peaks of both the hexagonal and cubic structure.

These results are discussed on the basis of a structural model of nanocrystallites comprising the stacking of close-packed planes (111 in the cubic structure) with a high degree of twinning.
