Epitaxial heterostructures consisting of a variable number of SrTiO3/DyScO3 bilayers deposited on DyScO3 substrates were investigated using time-domain terahertz spectroscopy down to helium temperatures. The phase transition into a ferroelectric state is observed in SrTiO3 films in all samples close to 300 K due to in-plane epitaxial strain induced by the substrate and intercalated layers of DyScO3. Evolution of the dielectric spectra with temperature and external electric field is described by a general model which involves a damped harmonic oscillator (soft mode) coupled to a Debye relaxation (central mode). Both modes are connected with the soft mode eigenvector and they reflect a strong anharmonicity of the soft-mode potential. The observed variation of phase transition temperature and of the dielectric response among the structures is ascribed to a partial epitaxial strain relaxation confirmed also by x-ray diffraction.
