AI总结:

本研究利用EuTiO3单晶外延薄膜制备悬浮微结构,测得其杨氏模量、应变等力学参数,研究了反铁畸变转变的非单调滞后力学响应,并分析了氧空位的影响。

摘要:

EuTiO3(ETO)是一种知名的复合氧化物,主要因磁学性质和初始铁电性受到研究。本研究展示了利用生长在SrTiO3(100)衬底上的100nm厚单晶外延ETO薄膜制备悬臂梁、微桥等悬浮微结构的实现过程。结合这些器件的轮廓分析与共振频率测量,我们得到了ETO薄膜的杨氏模量、应变及应变梯度。此外,我们通过温度依赖表征研究了ETO的反铁畸变转变,结果显示其力学响应具有非单调性和滞后特性。通过对比实验数据与文献数据,我们得以量化热膨胀和软化对调谐斜率的贡献,但目前仍无法完全理解这种宽滞后现象的起源。我们还通过对比化学计量比样品与缺氧样品,讨论了氧空位对所报道力学性能的影响。

英文摘要:

EuTiO3 (ETO) is a well-known complex oxide mainly investigated for its magnetic properties and its incipient ferro-electricity. In this work, we demonstrate the realization of suspended micro-mechanical structures, such as cantilevers and micro-bridges, from 100 nm-thick single-crystal epitaxial ETO films deposited on top of SrTiO3(100) substrates. By combining profile analysis and resonance frequency measurements of these devices, we obtain the Young's modulus, strain, and strain gradients of the ETO thin films. Moreover, we investigate the ETO anti-ferro-distorsive transition by temperature-dependent characterizations, which show a non-monotonic and hysteretic mechanical response. Comparison between experimental and literature data allows us to weight the contribution from thermal expansion and softening to the tuning slope, while a full understanding of the origin of such a wide hysteresis is still missing. We also discuss the influence of oxygen vacancies on the reported mechanical properties by comparing stoichiometric and oxygen-deficient samples.
