Abstract:
The properties of nanodimensional (Ba$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$)TiO$_3$ films on single-crystal magnesia substrates are studied. The films are applied by rf sputtering and grow in the layer-by-layer mode. The lattice parameters are measured by the X-ray diffraction method. The transmission of the films with different thicknesses is studied in the wavelength range 190–1100 nm. When analyzing experimental optical parameters, additional relaxation parameters depicting a final lifetime of the oscillator are used to characterize the refractive index and absorption factor in the dispersion relation. Such an approach allows a more accurate approximation of experimental data.
