Abstract
Epitaxial Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6/MgO thin films with layers of differing thickness (but with identical total thickness) have been prepared by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering with application of discontinuous deposition technology. It is established that a decrease in the layer thickness intensifies the unit-cell deformation, which is retained if the thickness of subsequent layers does not exceed the critical value.
