| Abstract | The phonon spectrum; crystal structure of the polar phase; spontaneous polarization; dielectric constant, piezoelectric, and elastic moduli tensors for free standing and substrate supported superlattices mBaTiO3/nSrTiO3 (with m = n = 1–4) were calculated within the density functional theory. The simulation of properties of the disordered Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 solid solution using two special quasirandom SQS 4 structures and their comparison with the properties of the superlattices revealed a tendency of the BaTiO3–SrTiO3 sys tem to superstructure ordering and showed that the superlattices are thermodynamically quite stable. The ground state of the free standing superlattice corresponds to the monoclinic polar phase Cm, which trans forms to the tetragonal polar phase P4mm under in plane compressive strain of the superlattice and to the orthorhombic polar phase Amm2 under in plane tensile strain. With a change in the in plane lattice param eter, in the vicinity of boundaries between neighboring polar phases, some optical and acoustic modes soften and some components of the static dielectric constant, piezoelectric, and elastic moduli tensors diverge crit ically.
