PLZT .5/30/70 sols for thin film deposition have been prepared from lead oxide, lanthanum nitrate and transition metal n-butoxides in a series of etheralcohols. After the low temperature heat treatment at 200°C for 2 minutes and at 400°C for 5 minutes the PLZT 5/30/70 thin films crystallize in the perovskite phase and exhibit ferroelectric response. To our knowledge, this is the lowest crystallization temperature of perovskite phase observed for titanium rich PLZT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
