Zusammenfassung:In epitaxial heterostructures Pb 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 / La 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3 / MgO ( 001 ) with a large lattice mismatch, ferroelectric domains and properties were experimentally studied. In 130 nm thick polydomain tetragonal Pb 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 films, random arrays of ∼ 0.1 - 0.5   μ m sized a - and c -domains are found. In vertical capacitors with Pt top electrodes, a steplike switching of polarization is observed. The results are discussed in terms of island growth and different switching mechanisms in a - and c -domains.
