Appendix B – Material–Substrate Combinations Tables C´eline Lichtensteiger and Matthew Dawber DPMC – University of Geneva 24 Quai Ernest Ansermet, 1211 Geneva 4, Switzerland celine.lichtensteiger@physics.unige.ch matthew.dawber@physics.unige.ch A key appeal of epitaxial ferroelectric thin films is that they possess a vari- ety of functional properties. It is found that these properties can be varied according to the choice of substrate used for the growth. The choice is not un- limited, however, some materials being much easier to grow on one substrate than another (usually because of a more similar crystal lattice). The technique used for the deposition can also be important in determining the properties of the resulting film. Motivated by this we present here some tables in which we have collected a limited number of references that detail the properties of particular material/substrate combinations when a particular growth method has been used. We hope this will be useful to researchers as an aid in assess- ing the best approach to take when they are contemplating embarking on a research project that calls for a ferroelectric thin film with specific properties. Neither the materials, nor the references, are intended to be in any way a complete list. In terms of materials we have listed mainly the materials that have been studied quite extensively as epitaxial thin films, and are therefore reasonably well characterized (BaTiO ,BiFeO , Pb(Mg Nb )O –PbTiO 3 3 1/3 2/3 3 3 (PMN–PT), Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT), and some layered perovksite ferroelectrics). Furthermore, we have reproduced for convenience the table that first appears in the chapter by Agham-Bayan Posadas in this volume that gives the lattice parameters of a number of the most popular substrate materials.
