abstract = {We present a quantitative study of the thickness dependence
of the polarization and piezoelectric properties in
epitaxial (001) PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 films grown on (001)
SrRuO3-buffered (001) SrTiO3 substrates. High-resolution
transmission electron microscopy reveals that even the
thinnest films (similar to 8 nm) are fully relaxed with a
dislocation density close to 10(12) cm(-2) and a spacing of
approximately 12 nm. Quantitative piezoelectric and
ferroelectric measurements show a drastic degradation in the
out-of-plane piezoelectric constant (d(33)) and the switched
polarization (DP) as a function of decreasing thickness. In
contrast, lattice-matched ultrathin PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 films
that have a very low dislocation density show superior
ferroelectric properties. Supporting theoretical
calculations show that the variations in the strain field
around the core of the dislocation leads to highly localized
polarization gradients and hence strong depolarizing fields,
which result in suppression of ferroelectricity in the
vicinity of a dislocation. (c) 2005 American Institute of
