Preparation of highly oriented Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 thin films by sol-gel-hydrothermal process
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
A novel sol-gel-hydrothermal process for preparation of highly oriented thin films of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 is reported. Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 thin films with fully (111) orientation were successfully prepared on platinized silicon substrates at low temperature (100–200 °C) by combining a conventional sol-gel process and hydrothermal method, i.e., sol-gel-hydrothermal technique. The x-ray rocking curve for the (111) reflection as measured by a high-resolution four-crystal diffractrometer showed a narrow full width at half-maximum value of 0.20° for the as-prepared films. A dense, pinhole-free, and uniform surface morphology was observed from atomic force microscopy images of the films. The low leakage current density of the prepared films was also found.
