AbstractThe properties of ferroelectric thin films can be significantly influenced by the presence of point defects. The concentration of vacancies presented in these thin films is known to be one of the key parameters causing the degradation of these films when these films are subjected to polarization reversals.To study the effects of the vacancy concentration on the ferroelectric properties, sol gel PZT films and powders were annealed in different oxygen partial pressures. For the PZT films, the reduction of oxides to pure metals was not observed even with films annealed at 2×10−5 atmosphere of oxygen partial pressure. Samples annealed at low oxygen partial pressure (for instance, 10−3 and 2×10−5 atmosphere), which has more Pb and O2 depletions and consequently has more Pb and O2 vacancies, cannot be switched easily. The ratios of coercive field after and before fatigue increase as the defect concentrations of the annealed samples increase.

ABSTRACTPreparation processing to obtain 124 single phase films has been studied by MOCVD. The YBCO thin films which were fabricated on MgO(100) and SrTiO3(100) substrates, respectively, were obtained under both conditions of Ts(temperature of susceptor)=800°C and Po2(oxygen partial pressure)=17.5torr. It was found that the oriented peaks of 124 c-axis and of 123 a-axis were more prominent than others at the composition ratio(Y/Ba/Cu=l.0/2.7/4.7), using the MgO(100) substrates. The 123 a-axis oriented grain was observed by using SEM and TEM. We have obtained thin films which were dominant in the 124 phase on the SrTiO3(100) substrates. The film surface morphology on the SrTiO3(100) substrate was smoother than that on the MgO(100) substrate. The origin of a-axis oriented grain growth was explained by the surface step(about 10 À) on MgO(100).
