Microstructural characterization of sol–gel lead–zirconate–titanate thin films

Abstract: The techniques of x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger analysis, and transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been applied to the analysis of thin films of Pb(Zr0.30Ti0.70)O3 (PZT30/70) deposited at low temperatures (510 °C) by a sol–gel process onto Pt/Ti electrodes on SiO2/Si 100 substrates. It is found that the platinum film is highly oriented with the [111] axis perpendicular to the substrate plane. The ferroelectric film tends to crystallize epitaxi… Show more

“…The spontaneous polarization allows the cations to diffuse faster and is the reason why surface enrichment is so significant in ferroelectric films (Watts et al, 2005). The ferroelectric (FE) polarization induced electrochemically by this mechanism is in the direction observed experimentally by Impey et al, 1998, and. Pb 2+ diffusion may also lead to self-polarization, which causes the polarization inhomogeneity discussed above.…”

“…Surface enrichment of some elements has been reported by many authors (Impey et al, 1998, Watts et al, 2001, 2003Gusmano et al, 2002), and there are just few explanations for this phenomenon. An analogy may be drawn with the oxidation of metals such as Cu and Sn where the metals dif-fuse towards the reacting surface (Wagner, 1971;Cabrera and Mott, 1948).…”
