Abstract

We demonstrated that ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy is an effective technique to measure the transition temperature ( T c ) in ferroelectric ultrathin films and superlattices. We showed that one-unit-cell-thick BaTiO 3 layers in BaTiO 3 /SrTiO 3 superlattices are not only ferroelectric (with T c as high as 250 kelvin) but also polarize the quantum paraelectric SrTiO 3 layers adjacent to them. T c was tuned by ∼500 kelvin by varying the thicknesses of the BaTiO 3 and SrTiO 3 layers, revealing the essential roles of electrical and mechanical boundary conditions for nanoscale ferroelectricity.
