Influence of piezoelectric induced strain on the Raman spectra of BiFeO₃ films — •Cameliu Himcinschi¹, Andreas Talkenberger¹, Jens Kortus¹, Alexander Schmid², Er-Jia Guo^{3, 4}, and Kathrin Dörr^{3, 4} — ¹TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Institute of Theoretical Physics, D-09596 Freiberg, Germany — ²TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Institute of Applied Physics, D-09596 Freiberg, Germany — ³Institute for Physics, Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, 06099 Halle, Germany — ⁴Institute for Metallic Materials, IFW Dresden, 01069 Dresden, Germany

BiFeO₃ epitaxial thin films were deposited on piezoelectric 0.72Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-0.28PbTiO₃ (PMN-PT) substrates with a conductive buffer layer (La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃, or SrRuO₃) using pulsed laser deposition. The calibration of the strain values induced by the applied voltage on the piezoelectric PMN-PT substrates was realised using X-Ray Diffraction measurements. Raman spectra monitoring as a function of the applied voltage (and hence strain) was performed in resonant conditions, using the 442 nm line of a HeCd laser. The piezoelectric induced strain in the BiFeO₃ films causes shifts in the phonon position. The method of piezoelectrically induced strain allows to obtain a quantitative correlation between strain and the shift of the Raman-active phonons, ruling out the influence of extrinsic factors, as growth conditions, crystalline quality of substrates, or film thickness.
