Abstract

Two sol-gel processes for producing Pb1-xBaxTiO3 (PBT), a ferroelectric material of interest for sensor and actuator applications, are investigated. Each system incorporates lead nitrate and barium acetate as metal sources and ethylene glycol as a solvent. Diethanolamine is used as a chelating agent for titanium isopropoxide or titanium butoxide. Precursor chemistry was systematically varied and the resulting sols and powders were studied using TGA/DSC, FTIR, and XRD. Thin films were prepared using both precursor sources by spin coating onto single crystal (100) MgO. Spin speed and pyrolysis temperature were optimized to produce oriented thin films with thicknesses of up to approximately 500nm. Sols incorporating titanium isopropoxide and a large excess of diethanolamine were particularly stable against hydrolysis.
