Bismuth titanate has a high Curie temperature (675°C) and saturation polarization values of 4 and 50 μC/cm2 along the c and b axis, respectively. Its a,b lattice parameters allow thin-film growth on substrates such as SrTiO3, LaAlO3, MgO, etc. These single crystalline films exhibit good quality as evidenced by x-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, and transmission electron microscopy. Applications for these films include memory devices and optical displays.}, year = {1990}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {57}, number = {15}, pages = {1505-1507}, issn = {00036951}, doi = {10.1063/1.104128}, note = {cited By 115}, language = {eng}, }
