Clarification of size effects in polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin films by means of the specific heat measurements: grain size or film thickness?

Specific heat of polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin films on the fused quartz substrate was measured by ac-hot probe method. Phase transition temperature, excess entropy and spontaneous polarization were determined as a function of film thickness and grain size. The variation of the latter was obtained in the limits 30 - 150 nm by changing of the temperature of the substrate during sputtering while thickness of films 20 - 1100 nm was controlled by the conditions of sputtering. It was found that the relation between the thickness and grain size is important for the size effects in polycrystalline films.

Specific heat and heat conductivity of the BaTiO3 polycrystalline films with the thickness in the range 20 - 1100 nm

Thermal properties - specific heat and heat conductivity coefficient - of polycrystalline BaTiO3 films on massive substrates were studied as a function of the temperature and the film thickness by ac-hot probe method. The anomalies of specific heat with decreasing of the film thickness from 1100 to 20 nm revealed the reducing of critical temperature (Tc) and excess entropy of the ferroelectric phase transition, which becomes diffused. The critical thickness of the film at which Tc = 0 estimated as 2.5 nm.
