(a) Calculated elastic strain energy density F(∊) of (100)pc and (001)pc oriented KxNa1−xNbO3 epitaxial layers grown on (110) TbScO3 substrates as a function of potassium content x. The two curves for (001)pc differ in their in-plane orientation of the pseudocubic unit cell; for details see text. (b) Anisotropic in-plane strains ∊xx and ∊yy of an (001)pc KxNa1−xNbO3 thin film grown on a (110) TbScO3 substrate as a function of potassium content x. Here, the epitaxial relationship between the KxNa1−xNbO3 film and the TbScO3 substrate is assumed to be [100]pc || [001]TSO and [010]pc || . |
