An Aurivillius phase, , with , was synthesized as an epitaxial (001)-oriented film. This phase and its purity were confirmed by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The material is ferroelectric, with a oriented in the (001) plane and a paraelectric-to-ferroelectric transition temperature of . Some indications of relaxorlike behavior are observed. Such behavior is out of character for Aurivillius phases and is closer to the bulk behavior of doped , implying a spatial limit to the elastic interlayer interactions in these layered oxides. A finite-element solution to the interpretation of data from interdigitated capacitors on thin films is also described.
