abstract = {In this work we demonstrate the electronic tunability of
surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in epitaxially strained
relaxor-type ferroelectric thin films. Epitaxial
K0.7Na0.3NbO3 thin films of typically 30 nm in thickness are
grown via pulsed laser deposition on (110)-oriented TbScO3.
A partial plastic lattice relaxation of the epitaxial strain
in these samples leads to a relaxor-type ferroelectricity of
these films, which strongly affects the SAW properties.
Without electronic bias only tiny SAW signals of ~0.2 dB can
be detected at room temperature, which can be boosted up to
4 dB by a static voltage (DC) bias added to the high
frequency (HF) driving current of the SAW transducers. Upon
field cooling below the freezing temperature of polar nano
regions (PNRs), this strong SAW signal can be preserved and
is even enhanced due to a release of the electronically
fixed PNRs if the bias is removed. In contrast, at elevated
temperatures, a reversible switching of the SAW signal is
possible. The switching shows relaxation dynamics that are
typical for relaxor ferroelectrics. The relaxation time
decreases exponentially from several hours at freezing
temperature to a few seconds (<5 s) at room temperature.},
