Abstract

Ferroelectric morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) materials based on Pb2+ - containing compositions are potentially important for optical and electronic applications because they exhibit high switchable polarization near this boundary with superior electro-optic and piezoelectric properties. In this paper we discuss these MPB materials, substrate issues, and the growth of MPB film compositions based on the PZT and PSKNN systems.
