Lead-free Na{sub 0.5}Bi{sub 0.5}TiO{sub 3} thin films were grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition on an epitaxial (111)Pt layer supported by a c-sapphire substrate. A competition between three different growth orientations, namely (100), (110) and (111), was evidenced by X-ray diffraction. The rocking-curve values corresponding to each growth orientation were derived from the reciprocal space mapping measurements. The X-ray {phi}-scan data indicate that only the (111)-oriented Na{sub 0.5}Bi{sub 0.5}TiO{sub 3} crystallites epitaxially grow onto (111)Pt bottom electrode, whereas a textured growth occurs in the case of (100)-oriented crystallites. In order to explain such difference in the growth behaviour, a near coincidence site lattice model of the (111)Na{sub 0.5}Bi{sub 0.5}TiO{sub 3}/(111)Pt interface is provided. The nature of the (100)Na{sub 0.5}Bi{sub 0.5}TiO{sub 3}/(111)Pt interface is also discussed. In addition, the room temperature hysteresis loops testify to the ferroelectric activity of the elaborated materials. The remanent polarization goes up to 15.9 {mu}C/cm{sup 2}, for a corresponding coercive field of 126 kV/cm. Finally, the fatigue data indicate only a small reduction in the polarization amplitude, reflected by the decrease of 15% and 12% of both +P* and -P* parameters, respectively, after 6.10{sup 9} switching cycles. This slight decrease in the polarization amplitude for such original Na{sub 0.5}Bi{sub 0.5}TiO{sub 3}/Pt/c-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} heterostructures can thus be compared favourably to the fatigue effects observed for PbZr{sub 1-x}Ti{sub x}O{sub 3} thin films deposited on Pt electrodes.
