We have addressed the question whether analogue phenomena may occur in thin films, Thin films of BaTiO3 prepared by different methods (PLD, CSD) and heat-treated in the temperature range of 700 degreesC-1000 degreesC are characterised by surface analytical methods and microanalysis (AFM, SIMS, XPS). Our studies reveals dramatic changes in the surface morphology and in-depth elemental distribution suggesting a chemical restructuring comparable to the effects known for single crystalline BaTiO3. Possible driving forces for the observed segregation phenomena are discussed taking into account specific properties of the thin films.}, keywords = {J (WoSType)}, cin = {ZCH / IFF-EKM}, ddc = {620}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)ZCH-20090406 / I:(DE-Juel1)VDB35}, pnm = {Entwicklung analytischer Verfahren / Festkörperforschung für die Informationstechnik}, pid = {G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK118 / G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK54}, shelfmark = {Engineering, Electrical $\&$ Electronic / Physics, Applied / Physics, Condensed Matter}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000167524500032}, doi = {10.1080/10584580108222312}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/29426}, }
