Abstract:
The initial stages of growth of ferroelectric films of barium strontium titanate BaSrTiO$_{3}$ on singlecrystal sapphire substrates have been experimentally investigated as a function of the deposition temperature. It has been shown that, at the initial stage of the condensation of the BaSrTiO$_3$ film on sapphire, the temperature of the substrate determines the mechanisms of mass transfer of deposited atoms and the processes of nucleation.
