Abstract

The driving force of the semiconductor industry to integrate thin transition-metal oxides with Si transistor technology has led to the development of SrTiO3 thin-film growth on Si(001). As SrTiO3 represents a large class of oxides with the perovskite structure, it is imperative to understand the fundamental aspects of its thin-film expitaxy and, in particular, any anomalous behavior it may exhibit. X-ray diffraction measurements have discovered a large negative Poisson's ratio for SrTiO3 thin films grown on Si(001). Polarization dependent extended x-ray absorption fine-structure measurements demonstrate that this elastic anomaly is driven by the interfacial polarization of the SrTiO3 layers. First-principles density-functional calculations support these conclusions.
