In this thesis it is shown that different substrates and different film thicknesses lead to different strain states in thin films of PbTiO_3, which leads to either different crystal symmetries or different domain configurations. Altogether, this means certain substrate/layer combinations can contribute to the elucidation of the mechanism which leads to the enormous increase in ferroelectric properties of PbTiO_3-based compounds. In ultra-thin films the domains are of nanometer size. In this way, the appropriate choice of substrate and film can lead to perfectly periodic domain structures, with high potential for memory applications.
