Notes:
The dielectric permittivity, tunability (Δε/ε), and loss tangent of Ba1−xSrxTiO3 (BST) films grown by pulsed-laser deposition are studied by near-field microwave microscopy. Based on theoretical simulations, a method is developed to measure the uniaxial dielectric anisotropy, ε⊥/ε(parallel), in BST films grown at different oxygen pressures. The measured ε⊥/ε(parallel) decreases with the film-growth oxygen pressure, consistent with the structural anisotropy. The films prepared at 50 mT, with ε⊥(approximate)ε(parallel), have the highest permittivity, tunability, and figure of merit. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
