Ferroelectric properties of the Sr-Ti-O thin films deposited under a 2 kG magnetic field as a function of the out-of-plane strain, ɛs. (a–f) P-E curves, respectively, of films with ɛs values of 0.009, 0.012, 0.022, 0.026, 0.030 and 0.036. In (d), data for stoichiometric composition are also shown. (e′ and f′) show the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant for ɛs values of 0.030 and 0.036, respectively. (g) The extension of the expected shift in Tc of SrTiO3(001) with biaxial strain reported by Haeni et al.21 (box in dashed line) and data are shown in (a–f).
