Abstract
Infrared optical properties of barium strontium titanate Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 thin films grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates are studied by infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry (IRSE) in the spectral range of 2.5-12.6 μm. The refractive index and extinction coefficient of Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 are determined by fitting the IRSE data using a classical dielectric function formula. As the wavelength increases, the refractive index decreases, but on the contrary, the extinction coefficient increases. The absorption coefficient is greater than 1000 cm-1 for the wavelength over 12.1 μm, but very small and less than 100 cm-1 under 5.3 μm. The effective static ionic charge has also been derived, which is smaller than it would be in a purely ionic material for Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 thin films.
