Effects of vanadium doping on structure and electrical properties of SrBi4Ti4O15 thin films

The effects of vanadium(V) doping into SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ (SBTi) thin films on the structure, ferroelectric, leakage current, dielectric, and fatigue properties have been studied. X-ray diffraction result showed that the crystal structure of the SBTi thin films with and without vanadium is the same. Enhanced ferroelectricity was observed in the V-doped SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ (SrBi_4−x/3Ti_4−xV_xO₁₅, SBTiV-x (x = 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09)) thin films compared to the pure SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ thin film. The values of remnant polarization (2P_r) and coercive field (2E_c) of the SBTiV-0.09 thin film capacitor were 40.9 μC/cm² and 105.6 kV/cm at an applied electric field of 187.5 kV/cm, respectively. The 2P_r value is over five times larger than that of the pure SBTi thin film capacitor. At 100 kHz, the values of dielectric constant and dielectric loss were 449 and 0.04, and 214 and 0.06 for the SBTiV-0.09 and the pure SBTi thin film capacitors, respectively. The leakage current density of the SBTiV-0.09 thin film capacitor measured at 100 kV/cm was 6.8 × 10⁻⁹ A/cm², which is more than two and a half orders of magnitude lower than that of the pure SBTi thin film capacitor. Furthermore, the SBTiV-0.09 thin film exhibited good fatigue endurance up to 10¹⁰ switching cycles. The improved electrical properties may be related to the reduction of internal defects such as bismuth and oxygen vacancies with changes in the grain size by doping of vanadium into SBTi.     

Complex impedance spectroscopic studies of Ba(Pr1/2Ta1/2)O3 ceramic

The polycrystalline sample of Ba(Pr_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃ was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. The crystal symmetry, space group and unit cell dimensions were derived from the experimental results using FullProf software. XRD analysis of the compound indicated the formation of a single-phase tetragonal structure with the space group P4/mmm (1 2 3). Impedance and electric modulus analysis were used as tools to analyze the electrical behavior of the sample as a function of frequency at different temperatures. The impedance analysis of the compound indicated a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance behavior, and dielectric relaxation was found to be of non-Debye type. The frequency dependent maximum of the imaginary part of the electric modulus follows the Arrhenius law with activation energy of 0.15 eV. The ac conductivity data obeys double power law.     

Dielectric and impedance measurements on (1−x)Ba(Fe1/2Ta1/2)O3-xBa(Zn1/3Ta2/3)O3 ceramics

In this work, ((1−x)Ba(Fe_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃-xBa(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃), ((1−x)BFT-xBZT) ceramics with x = 0.00–0.12 were synthesized by the solid–state reaction method. X-ray diffraction data revealed that both the powders and ceramics were of a pure-phase cubic perovskite structure. All ceramics showed large dielectric constants. For the x = 0.12 sample, a very high dielectric constant (>20,600) was observed. A lowering in the dielectric loss compared to pure BFT ceramics was observed with the BZT addition. The impedance measurements indicated that BZT has a strong effect on the bulk grain and grain boundary resistance of BFT ceramics. These results are in agreement with the measured dielectric properties. Based on dielectric and impedance results, (1−x)BFT-xBZT ceramics could be of great interest for high performance dielectric materials applications due their giant dielectric constant behavior.     

Effect of different annealing methods on ferroelectric properties of 0.95Pb(Sc0.5Ta0.5)O3-0.05PbTiO3 thin films

0.95Pb(Sc_0.5Ta_0.5)O₃-0.05PbTiO₃ thin films were prepared on LaNiO₃/SiO₂/Si substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and the films were annealed subsequently with repeated many times by two approaches: normal one-step rapid thermal annealing and innovative two-steps rapid thermal annealing. X-ray diffraction demonstrates that all the films were preferred (1 0 0) oriented and an appropriate repeat of annealing process can enhance perovskite phase of the films. Scanning electron microscopy suggests that the films treated by two-steps rapid thermal annealing show crack-free, uniform size grains and dense microstructure. Measurement of remnant polarization and leakage current dependence of electric field confirms that the films treated by two-steps rapid thermal annealing exhibit better ferroelectric properties than the films treated by one-steps rapid thermal annealing. The results reveal that microstructure plays an important role in enhanced ferroelectric properties of the 0.95Pb(Sc_0.5Ta_0.5)O₃-0.05PbTiO₃ thin films.     

Double-ceramic-layer thermal barrier coatings based on La2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7/La2Ce2O7 deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition

Double-ceramic-layer (DCL) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) of La₂(Zr_0.7Ce_0.3)₂O₇ (LZ7C3) and La₂Ce₂O₇ (LC) were deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD). The composition, interdiffusion, surface and cross-sectional morphologies, cyclic oxidation behavior of DCL coating were studied. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that both LZ7C3 and LC coatings are effectively fabricated by a single LZ7C3 ingot with properly controlling the deposition energy. The chemical compatibility of LC coating and thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer is unstable. LaAlO₃ is formed due to the chemical reaction between LC and Al₂O₃ which is the main composition of TGO layer. Additionally, the thermal cycling behavior of DCL coating is influenced by the interdiffusion of Zr and Ce between LZ7C3 and LC coatings. The failure of DCL coating is a result of the sintering of LZ7C3 coating surface, the chemical incompatibility of LC coating and TGO layer and the abnormal oxidation of bond coat. Since no single material that has been studied so far satisfies all the requirements for high temperature applications, DCL coating is an important development direction of TBCs.

The effect of Si surface nitridation on the interfacial structure and electrical properties of (La2O3)0.5(SiO2)0.5 high-k gate dielectric films

Thermal stability, interfacial structures and electrical properties of amorphous (La₂O₃)_0.5(SiO₂)_0.5 (LSO) films deposited by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on Si (1 0 0) and NH₃ nitrided Si (1 0 0) substrates were comparatively investigated. The LSO films keep the amorphous state up to a high annealing temperature of 900 °C. HRTEM observations and XPS analyses showed that the surface nitridation of silicon wafer using NH₃ can result in the formation of the passivation layer, which effectively suppresses the excessive growth of the interfacial layer between LSO film and silicon wafer after high-temperature annealing process. The Pt/LSO/nitrided Si capacitors annealed at high temperature exhibit smaller CET and EOT, a less flatband voltage shift, a negligible hysteresis loop, a smaller equivalent dielectric charge density, and a much lower gate leakage current density as compared with that of the Pt/LSO/Si capacitors without Si surface nitridation.     

Conductivity and water uptake of Sr4(Sr2Nb2)O11·nH2O and Sr4(Sr2Ta2)O11·nH2O

The hydrated oxygen deficient complex perovskite-related materials Sr₄(Sr₂Nb₂)O₁₁·nH₂O and Sr₄(Sr₂Ta₂)O₁₁·nH₂O were studied at high water vapour pressures over a large temperature range by electrical conductivity measurements, thermogravimetry (TG), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). In humid atmospheres both materials are known to exhibit protonic conductivity below dehydration temperatures, with peak-shaped maxima at about 500 °C. In this work we show that the peaks expand to plateaus of high conductivity from 500 to 700 °C at a water vapour pressure of 1 atm. However, in situ synchrotron XRPD of Sr₄(Sr₂Nb₂)O₁₁·nH₂O as a function of temperature shows that these observations are in fact coincident with melting and dehydration of a secondary phase Sr(OH)₂. The stability of Sr₄(Sr₂Nb₂)O₁₁·nH₂O and Sr₄(Sr₂Ta₂)O₁₁·nH₂O in humid atmospheres is thus insufficient, causing decomposition into perovskites with lower Sr content and SrO/Sr(OH)₂ secondary phases. This, in turn, rationalizes the observation of peaks and plateaus in the conductivity of these materials.     

Effects of strontium on the characteristics of Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3--Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of pyrochlore-free lead zirconate titanate-lead zinc niobate ceramics were investigated systematically as a function of Sr doping. The powders of Pb_{(1? x )}Sr _x [0.7(Zr_{1 / 2}Ti_{1 / 2})–0.3(Zn_{1 / 3}Nb_{2 / 3})]O₃, where x?=?0–0.06 were prepared using the columbite-(wolframite) precursor method. The ceramic materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, dielectric spectra, hysteresis and electromechanical measurements. The phase-pure perovskite phase of Sr-doped PZN--PZT ceramics was obtained over a wide compositional range. The results showed that the optimized electrical properties were also achieved at composition x?=?0.0, which were K _P?=?0.69, d ₃₃?=?670?pC?N^?1, P _r?=?31.9?µC?cm^?2 and ε_rmax?=?18600. Maximum dielectric constant values of the systems decreased rapidly with increasing Sr concentration. Moreover, with increasing Sr concentration dielectric constant versus temperature curves become gradually broader. The diffuseness parameter increased significantly with Sr doping. Furthermore, Sr doping has been shown to produce a linear reduction in the transition temperature (T _m)?=?294.1–12.7x°C with concentration (x). Sr shifts the transition temperature of this system at a rate of 12.7°C?mol^?1%.     

Pulsed laser deposition of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 thin film on cobalt ferrite nano-seed layered Pt(111)/Si substrate: effect of oxygen pressure

The effect of oxygen pressure during pulsed laser deposition of Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ (PZT) thin films on CoFe₂O₄ nano-seed layered Pt(111)/Si substrate was investigated. The PZT film deposited at oxygen pressure lower than 25 mTorr is identified as both perovskite and pyrochlore phases and the films deposited at high oxygen pressure (50-100 mTorr) show the single-phase perovskite PZT that has a perfect (111)-orientation. In addition, the film deposited at P_O2 of 50 mTorr has a uniform surface morphology, whereas the film deposited at P_O2 of 100 mTorr has a non-uniform surface morphology and more incompacted columnar cross-section microstructure. The polarization of film deposited at 100 mTorr is higher than that deposited at 50 mTorr, but shift of the hysteresis loop along the electrical field axis in the film deposited at P_O2 of 100 mTorr is larger than that of the film deposited at P_O2 of 50 mTorr.     

Study on the photocatalytic activity of K2La2Ti3O10 doped with zinc(Zn)

The layered perovskite type oxides, K₂La₂Ti₃O₁₀ and zinc(Zn)-doped K₂La₂Ti₃O₁₀ were prepared by sol-gel method and were characterized by power X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity for water splitting of the catalyst powders was investigated with I⁻ as electron donor under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation respectively. The electronic structure of the powders has been analyzed by the first principles calculation, which reveals the photo responses in the visible region and the improvement of the photocatalytic activity of K₂La₂Ti₃O₁₀. Conclusions were made that zinc(Zn)-doped K₂La₂Ti₃O₁₀ exhibited higher reactivity for hydrogen production. When I⁻ was used as electron donor, the optimum doping concentration of zinc(Zn) was found to be 0.015:1 (n_Zn:n_Ti). The average hydrogen production rates were 126.6 μmol/(gcat h) under ultraviolet irradiation and 55.5 μmol/(gcat h) under visible light irradiation which were raised by 131% and 251% compared with undoped K₂La₂Ti₃O₁₀ photocatalyst, respectively.     

Theoretical calculations of the optical band positions and spin-Hamiltonian parameters for Cr ions in Y2Ti2O7 crystal

The optical band positions and spin-Hamiltonian parameters (g factors g_g_? and zero-field splitting D) for the trigonal Cr³⁺ centers in Y₂Ti₂O₇ crystal are calculated from the complete diagonalization (of energy matrix) method based on the two-spin-orbit-parameter model. In the calculations, the contributions to spectral data from both the spin-orbit parameter of central dⁿ ion and that of ligand ion are considered and the crystal field parameters used are estimated from the superposition model. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. The defect structures of Cr³⁺ center is suggested.     

An XPS study and electrical properties of Pb1.1Zr0.53Ti0.47O3/PbO/Si (MFIS) structures according to the substrate temperature of the PbO buffer layer

PbO and PZT thin films were deposited on the p-type (1 0 0) Si substrate by the rf magnetron sputtering method with PbO and Pb_1.1Zr_0.53Ti_0.47O₃ targets for the application of the metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) structure. The MFIS structures with the PbO buffer layer show the good electric properties including a high memory window and a low leakage current density. The maximum value of the memory window is 2.0 V under the applied voltage of 9 V for the Pt/PZT (200 nm, 400 °C)/PbO (80 nm)/Si structures with the PbO buffer layer deposited at the substrate temperature of 300 °C. From the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results, we could confirm that the substrate temperature of PbO affects the chemical states of the interface between the PbO buffer layer and Si substrate, which results in the inter-diffusion of Pb and the formation of the intermediate phases (PbSiO₃). And the existence of the undesired SiO₂ layer, which is the low dielectric layer, was confirmed at the surface region of the Si substrate by the XPS depth profile analysis.     

Laser-induced voltage effects in Ca3Co4O9 thin films on tilted LaAlO3（001） substrates grown by chemical solution deposition

Laser-induced voltage effects in c-axis oriented Ca3Co4O9 thin films have been studied with samples fabricated on 10 tilted LaAlO3(001) substrates by a simple chemical solution deposition method. An open-circuit voltage with a rise time of about 10 ns and full width at half maximum of about 28 ns is detected when the film surface is irradiated by a 308-nm laser pulse with a duration of 25 ns. Besides, open-circuit voltage signals are also observed when the film surface is irradiated separately by the laser pulses of 532 nm and 1064 nm. The results indicate that Ca3Co4O9 thin films have a great potential application in the wide range photodetctor from the ultraviolet to near infrared regions.     

Synthesis of (Mg0.476Mn0.448Zn0.007)(Fe1.997Ti0.002)O4 powder and sintered ferrites by high energy ball-milling process

(Mg_0.476Mn_0.448Zn_0.007)(Fe_1.997Ti_0.002)O₄ nanocrystalline powder prepared by high energy ball-milling process were consolidated by microwave and conventional sintering processes. Phases, microstructure and magnetic properties of the ferrites prepared by different processes were investigated. The (Mg_0.476Mn_0.448Zn_0.007)(Fe_1.997Ti_0.002)O₄ nanocrystalline powder could be prepared by high energy ball-milling process of raw Fe₃O₄, MnO₂, ZnO, TiO₂ and MgO powders. Prefired and microwave sintered ferrites could achieve the maximum density (4.86 g/cm⁻³), the average grain size (15 μm) was larger than that (10 μm) prepared by prefired and conventionally sintered ferrites with pure ferrite phase, and the saturation magnetization (66.77 emu/g) was lower than that of prefired and conventionally sintered ferrites (88.25 emu/g), the remanent magnetization (0.7367 emu/g) was higher than that of prefired and conventionally sintered ferrites (0.0731 emu/g). Although the microwave sintering process could increase the density of ferrites, the saturation magnetization of ferrites was decreased and the remanent magnetization of ferrites was also increased.     

The transverse laser induced thermoelectric voltages in step flow growth （1-x）Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 thin films

This paper reports that the transverse laser induced thermoelectric voltages (LITV) are observed for the first time in the step flow growth (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PMN-PT,x = 0.20, 0.33, 0.50) thin films deposited on vicinal-cut strontium titanate single crystal substrates. Because lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate is a solid solution of lead magnesium niobate (PMN) and lead titanate (PT), there are two types of signals. One is wide with a time response of a microsecond, and the other superimposed with the wide signal is narrow with a time response of a nanosecond. The transverse LITV signals depend on the ratio of PMN to PT drastically. Under the irradiation of 28-ns pulsed KrF excimer laser with the 248-nm wavelength,the largest induced voltage is observed in the 0.50Pb(Mg1/Nb2/3)O3-0.50PbTiO3 films. Moreover, the effects of film thickness, substrates, and tilt angles of substrates are also investigated.     

Synthesis of Y2O3:(Li,Eu) films using phosphor powders coated with SiO2 nano particles

Y_1.9−xLi_0.1Eu_xO₃ (x=0.02, 0.05, 0.08, and 0.12) films were fabricated by spin-coating method. A colloidal silica suspension with Y_1.9−xLi_0.1Eu_xO₃ phosphor powder was exploited to obtain the highly stable and effective luminescent films onto the glass substrate. After heating as-prepared Y_1.9−xLi_0.1Eu_xO₃ films at 700 °C for 1 h, the phosphor films exhibit a high luminescent brightness as well as a strong adhesiveness on the glass substrate. The emission spectra of spin-coated and pulse-laser deposited Y_1.82Li_0.1Eu_0.08O₃ films were compared. The cathodoluminescence of the phosphor films was carried out at the anode voltage 1 kV.     

Structure evolution and stoichiometry control of Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 thick films fabricated by electrospray assisted vapour deposition

Well-crystallized and stoichiometric Pb(Zr, Ti)O₃ (PZT) films, typically ∼5 μm thick, with pure perovskite-type rhombohedral structures have been successfully prepared via an electrospray assisted vapour deposition (ESAVD) method. Control of the deposition temperature within a narrow range of 300-400 °C resulted in films with the most desirable phases. PZT films with close stoichiometric match with the expected composition ratio and uniform element distribution were obtained by adding the appropriate levels of excess Pb in the precursor solutions. The annealed films were uniform, dense, compact and adherent to the substrates. The dielectric constant, ?_r, and loss tangent, tan δ, of the fabricated PZT films measured at 10 kHz were 442 and 0.09, respectively. The ESAVD deposited PZT films showed a remanent polarization, P_r, of 15.3 μC/cm² and coercive field, E_c, of 86.7 kV/cm. These results demonstrate the clear potential of the ESAVD method as a promising technique for the fabrication of thick PZT films.
