ABSTRACTBased on the direct piezoelectric effect, the measurement of piezoelectric module d33 was conducted to examine the self-poling effect in sol-gel derived Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 (PZT) thin films. It is observed that as-prepared PZT thin films have piezoelectric responses being dependent upon the film thickness and composition. The higher d33 of 26 pC/N is achieved for ∼0.4 μm thick PZT thin films with Zr/Ti ratio of 53/47. The d33 value decreases with increasing the film thickness for as-prepared PZT thin films, however, increases for the same film after external poling. The origin of the self-poling effect was briefly discussed based on the formation of an internal bias field in PZT thin films.

AbstractWe have used the new approach to fatigue phenomenon for analysis of the switching current and C-V characteristic evolution during cycling in PZT thin films. It was shown that in accordance with theoretical predictions the rejuvenation stage precedes the fatigue one. We have demonstrated that fatigue behavior corresponds to the spreading of the internal bias field distribution function during ac switching.

ABSTRACTTypical fatigue and aging characteristics are reported for thin PZT films prepared using sol-gels. The fatigue process occurs in two steps. There is an initial period, during which the domain matrix of the as formed film is restructured by the cycling and the polarization generally increases, followed by a period in which the polarization decays. The polarization decay may be due, in part, to the formation of dielectric layers at the electrodes. The effects of voltage and temperature on fatigue are reported. Aging is examined as a function of temperature. Measurements of internal bias fields do not support the view that they are the primary cause of aging. Neither fatigue nor aging are temperature sensitive making identification of specific physical processes difficult.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a new method for the measurement of the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient of piezoelectric thin films using the direct piezoelectric effect. A uniform uniaxial stress was applied to the piezoelectric thin film by high-pressure gas and the induced charge was collected and measured by a charge integrator. The effective longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) 52/48 thin films made by sol-gel processing was measured by this method. Undoped films typically have d33 values of ∼ 5 pC/N, while poled films have values up to 220 pC/N.

ABSTRACTThe (100), (111) and randomly oriented PZT thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/Coming 7059 glass using sol-gel method. The thin films having different orientation were fabricated by different drying conditions for pyrolysis. The preferred orientations of the PZT thin films were observed using XRD, rocking curves, and pole figures. The microstructures were investigated using SEM. The hysteresis loops and capacitance-voltage characteristics of the films were investigated using a standardized ferroelectric test system. The dielectric constant and current-voltage characteristics of the films were investigated using an impedance analyzer and pA meter, respectively. The films oriented in a particular direction showed superior electrical characteristics to the randomly oriented films.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric PZT thin films on thin RuO2 (10, 30, 50nm)/Pt hybrid bottom electrodes were successfully prepared by using a modified chemical solution deposition method. It was observed that the use of a lOnm RuO2Pt bottom electrode reduced leakage current, and gave more reliable capacitors with good microstructure compare to the use of thicker RuO2/Pt bottom electrodes. Typical P-E hysteresis behavior was observed even at an applied voltage of 3V, demonstrating greatly improved remanence and coercivity. Fatigue and breakdown characteristics, measured at 5V, showed stable behavior, and only below 13-15% degradation was observed up to 1010 cycles. Thicker RuO2 layers resulted in high leakage current density due to conducting lead ruthenate or PZT pyrochlore-ruthenate and a rosette-type microstructure.

Full-perovskite Pb 0.87 Ba 0.1 La 0.02 (Zr 0.6 Sn 0.33 Ti 0.07 )O 3 (PBLZST) thin films were fabricated by a sol–gel method. These revealed both rhombohedral and tetragonal phases, as opposed to the full-tetragonal phase previously reported in ceramics. The fractions of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases are found to be strongly dependent on film thickness. The fraction of tetragonal grains increases with increasing film thickness, as the substrate constraint throughout the film decreases with film thickness. The maximum of the dielectric constant ( ε m ) and the corresponding temperature ( T m ) are thickness-dependent and dictated by the fraction of rhombohedral and tetragonal phase, with ε m reaching a minimum at 400 nm and T m shifting to higher temperature with increasing thickness. With the thickness increase, the breakdown field decreases, but field-induced antiferroelectric–ferroelectric ( E AFE−FE ) and ferroelectric–antiferroelectric ( E FE−AFE ) switch fields increase. The electrocaloric effect increases with increasing film thickness. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Taking the temperature of phase transitions in cool materials’.
