Optimized growth and dielectric properties of barium titanate thin films on polycrystalline Ni foils

Barium titanate(BTO) thin films were deposited on polycrystalline Ni foils by using the polymer assisted deposition(PAD) technique.The growth conditions including ambient and annealing temperatures were carefully optimized based on thermal dynamic analysis to control the oxidation processing and interdiffusion.Crystal structures,surface morphologies,and dielectric performance were examined and compared for BTO thin films annealed under different temperatures.Correlations between the fabrication conditions,microstructures,and dielectric properties were discussed.BTO thin films fabricated under the optimized conditions show good crystalline structure and promising dielectric properties with εr～ 400 and tan δ < 0.025 at 100 kHz.The data demonstrate that BTO films grown on polycrystalline Ni substrates by PAD are promising in device applications.     

PT/PZT/PT铁电薄膜的铁电畴和畴壁

用sol-gel法制备出了具有良好铁电性、纯钙钛矿结构的PbTiO₃/Pb(Zr_0.3Ti_0.7)O₃/PbTiO₃(PT/PZT/PT)新型夹心结构铁电薄膜.用扫描力显微镜(SFM)的压电响应模式获得了薄膜铁电畴的垂直于膜平面方向(OPP)、膜平面内(IPP)及OPP的相位和幅度图像，结合理论分析指出薄膜的电畴主要由c畴和偏离垂直于膜平面方向上的c畴构成，薄膜取向的复杂性导致了复杂的畴结构.对于［111］取向的薄膜，当偏离垂直于膜平面方向上的c畴在垂直膜平面方向和面内方向都相反时构成180°的畴壁，在垂直膜平面方向上相同、面内方向相反或由垂直膜平面方向上相反、面内方向相同时构成90°畴壁. 关键词： 铁电薄膜 PT/PZT/PT 电畴和畴壁 扫描力显微镜(SFM)     

不同晶化工艺对非晶PZT纳米薄膜形核取向生长机理的影响

射频磁控溅射法室温下在Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si上制备非晶Pb(Zr048Ti052)O3薄膜，非晶PZT薄膜分别经常规炉退火(CFA)处理和快速热退火(RTA)处理晶化为（100），（111）不同择优取向的多晶薄膜. 采用x射线衍射测定了薄膜相组分、择优取向度；用原子力显微镜和压电响应力显微镜观察了薄膜表面形貌，以及对应区域由自发极化形成的铁电畴像，观察了不同取向薄膜的电畴分布特征. 结果表明，RTA晶化过程钙钛矿结构PZT结晶主要以PZT/Pt界面处的PtPb化合物为成核点异质形核并类似外延的结晶生长，沿界面结晶速率远大于垂直膜面结晶速率，而CFA晶化样品成核发生在膜内杂质缺陷处，以同质成核为主. 不同的成核机理导致了不同晶面择优取向生长. 关键词： PZT薄膜 结晶 形核 力显微技术
