Polar phonon behaviour in polycrystalline Bi-doped strontium titanate thin films — •Oleksandr Tkach1, Olena Okhay2, Dmitry Nuzhnyy3, Jan Petzelt3, and Paula M.

Among strontium titanate (STO) based materials, Bi-doped STO have been intensively studied as for dielectric as for resistance-switching memory and thermoelectric applications. Here, we enhance the dielectric characterisation by a lattice dynamics study of sol-gel-derived Sr1−1.5xBixTiO3 thin films with x = 0.0053 and 0.167, deposited on Al2O3 substrates, using a variable-temperature far-infrared spectroscopy in a transmittance mode. Bi doping, known to induce a low-frequency dielectric relaxation in STO ceramics and films, due to off-centre dopant ion displacements generating electric dipoles, is shown to affect the polar phonon behaviour of thin films. We show that in weakly Bi-doped films, the low-frequency polar TO1 mode softens on cooling but less than in undoped STO. In heavily Bi-doped STO films, this mode displays no significant frequency variation with temperature from 300 to 10 K. The polar phonon behaviour of polycrystalline Bi-doped STO thin films is comparable with that of Bi-doped STO ceramics, which exhibit dielectric relaxations and harden soft-mode behaviour instead of the ferroelectric phase transition.
