摘要
The effect of anisotropic strains on the phase transitions and domains structures of BaTiO3 thin films was studied using both thermodynamic calculations and phase-field simulations. The misfit strain-misfit strain domain stability diagrams were predicted. The similarity and significant differences between the diagrams from thermodynamic calculations assuming single domains and from phase-field simulations were analyzed. Typical domain structures as a result of anisotropic misfit strains are presented.
