Phase Transition and Pyroelectric Properties of La-Modified PbTiO3 Thin Films
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Phase transition and related electric properties of La-modified PbTiO3 (PLT) thin films were investigated. Curie temperature of the films decreased and the diffuseness of the phase transition increased with increasing La content. Simultaneously, it was losing a ferroelectricity and pyroelectric properties degraded in La-rich region. This is considered to be due to the increase of a defect in the film by exchanging Pb2+ ions to La3+ ions. Compensation of the defect by the addition of Mn ion improve the ferroelectricity of the PLT and the films showed an extremely large pyroelectric properties.
