From polarization analyses using high epitaxial quality films, we have successfully isolated the A1 and B1 phonons from the E phonons, thus offering a distinctive evaluation of the c domains. As increasing c-domain volume, the A1(TO) modes linearly increase in their intensity. A remarkable correlation is found between the A1(1TO)-mode intensity and the c-domain volume for PZT films. We suggest that this correlation as well as the A1(1TO)-mode intensity provide a simple and useful probe for characterization of c-domain volume and ferroelectric properties in PZT-based devices.}, title = {Domain distributions in tetragonal Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films probed by polarized Raman spectroscopy}, volume = {87}, year = {2005} }
