We investigated the structural properties of ferroelectric BaTiO₃ thin films by X-ray standing waves with the goal to determine the atomic positions within the tetragonal unit cell in samples with different strain. Our samples consist of BaTiO₃ thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition (with a SrRuO₃ bottom electrode) on three different substrates SmScO₃, GdScO₃, DyScO₃ providing increasing compressive strain. All the samples were characterized by X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and reciprocal space mapping (RSM). We present X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray standing waves data measured at the Diamond Light Source that provide Ba and Ti atomic positions within the unit cells of sample surface. In this study we show a relation between atomic positions and compressive strain of ferroelectric BaTiO₃ thin films.
