- 요약Thin films of complex oxides have great utility in modern devices. Through their vast diversity of properties and ease of tuning through strain and substitution, they are a workhorse material class for sensors, photovoltaics, memory, dielectrics, and more. Thin films, however, have several drawbacks that hinder future device applications These limitations, such as defect generation during growth under tensile strain, limited total strain levels, and discrete strain states (through reliance on commercial substrates) serve to reduce the range of properties possible from strain engineering. The recent ability to fabricate high-quality free-standing membranes from these films, however, can address most of these limitations. Through removal from the substrate, a much more bulk-like platform is obtained, while maintaining the thickness advantage of thin films. This enables greater exploration of the inherent properties of complex oxides, and the effect of extreme conditions such as large strains and bending. In this dissertation, I explore the effect of defects and strain on the structural properties of a range of free-standing membranes of useful perovskite oxides, showing how the utility of membranes can enhance understanding and control of these materials. I specifically address the problem of measuring defect-induced structural changes, explore possible mechanisms for large strain states in membrane systems, and tune ferroelastic domains through non-epitaxially available strain states.Defects can play a large role in the behavior of complex oxides. However, the effects of the defects on the structure and properties is coupled with strain in the vast majority of cases (excluding purely homoepitaxial growth). Measurement techniques such as RSM and XRD can only give the total lattice parameter, while not separating the individual effect of strain and defects. Through the use of membranes, the strain of a thin film can be relieved, which leaves only the defects generated during growth and fabrication to modify the material structure. This is discussed in chapter 3, where a SrMnO3 thin film and membrane are fabricated from growth under large tensile strain. A large volume expansion from oxygen vacancies generated during the growth are found, with very little relaxation occurring in the membrane. This is then extended in chapter 4 to a study of the effect of these defects on the magnetism of the SrMnO3 membrane. A range of misfit strains during growth from slightly compressive to very large tensile strain is used to control the oxygen vacancy level in the final membrane, and thereby determine their overall effect on the magnetism. This is then compared to thin films grown under the same conditions and strain to additionally see the effect of release on the magnetism. Thin films easily crack, or have defects form, at strains of around 3%, even at small thicknesses. Yet membranes are known to be able to sustain enormous strains far beyond this thin film limit. Having determined the structural changes induced through release, and their effects on properties, the effect of straining a membrane on the structure of prototypical perovskite SrTiO3 is discussed in chapter 5. Through measurement of each lattice parameter, evidence is found of a non-elastic deformation even at low strains, prompting the need for a more systematic study of how membranes can achieve large strains and the extent of elasticity while doing so. The ability to strain membranes is then utilized to tune the properties of an oxide in a manner not available via epitaxial strain. This expands the already useful field of strain engineering, enabling better design and control of the angle and relative amounts of applied strain. For this, discussed in chapter 6, technologically important multiferroic BiFeO3 was utilized. Through application of a pure uniaxial strain aligned to the [110] of BiFeO3, control was achieved over the domain population of a two-domain membrane.
