Abstract

Recent results of Raman spectroscopy studies of lattice dynamics and phase transitions in ferroelectric thin films and superlattices are reviewed. Raman studies of SrTiO₃, BaTiO₃, and Ba_xSr_1–xTiO₃ thin films in comparison to corresponding single crystals are presented; essential differences in the lattice dynamics behavior of thin films and single crystals are discussed. Application of ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy for studies of nanoscale ferroelectric heterostructures, such as BaTiO₃/SrTiO₃ superlattices, is demonstrated.
