Epitaxial BiFeO3 films pulsed laser deposited on SrTiO3, Nb:doped SrTiO3, and DyScO3 were studied using variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, vacuum ultraviolet ellipsometry, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The energy band gap of the film deposited on DyScO3 is 2.75 eV, while the one for the film deposited on Nb:doped SrTiO3 is larger by 50 meV. The blueshift in the dielectric function of the BiFeO3 films deposited on Nb:doped SrTiO3 compared to the films deposited on DyScO3, indicates a larger compressive strain in the films deposited on Nb:doped SrTiO3. This is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and by high resolution x-ray diffraction investigations. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3437059]
