Strain-induced interface reconstruction in epitaxial heterostructures
We investigate in the framework of Landau theory the distortion of the strain fields at the interface of two dissimilar ferroelastic oxides that undergo a structural cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition. Simple analytical solutions are derived for the dilatational and the deviatoric strains that are valid over the entire heterostructure. The solutions …
