Strain Engineering of Ferroelectric Domains in KxNa1−xNbO3 Epitaxial Layers

The application of lattice strain through epitaxial growth of oxide films on lattice mismatched perovskite-like substrates strongly influences the structural properties of ferroelectric domains and their corresponding piezoelectric behavior. The formation of different ferroelectric phases can be und...
