Performance of lead titanate, (PbTiO3) thin films have been successfully investigated on microstructural properties, I-V characteristic, dielectric properties, and ferroelectric properties. PbTiO3offers variety of application as transducer, ferroelectric random access memory, transistor, high performance capacitor, sensor, and many more due to its ferroelectric behavior. Preparation of the films are often discussed in order to improve the structural properties, like existence of grain boundaries, particle uniformity, presents of microcrack films, porosities, and many more. Yet, researchers still prepare PbTiO3thin films at high crystallization temperature, certainly above than 600 ̊C to obtain single crystal perovskite structure that would be the reason to gain high spontaneous polarization behavior. Although this will results to high dielectric constant value, the chances that leads to high leakage current is a major failure in device performance. Thus, preparation the thin films at low annealing temperature quite an essential study which is more preferable deposited on low-cost soda lime glass. The study focuses on low annealing temperature of PbTiO3thin films through sol-gel spin coating method and undergo for dielectric and I-V measurements.

Intergrowth-superlattice-structured SrBi4Ti4O15–Bi4Ti3O12(SBT–BIT) films prepared on p-Si substrates by sol-gel processing. Synthesized SBT–BIT films exhibit good ferroelectric properties. As the annealing temperature increases from 600°C to 700°C, the remanent polarization Prof SBT–BIT films increases, while the coercive electric field Ecdecreases. SBT–BIT films annealed at 700°C have a Prvalue of 18.9µC/cm2which is higher than that of SBT (16.8µC/cm2) and BIT (14.6µC/cm2), and have the lowest Ecof 142 kV/cm which is almost the same as that of SBT and BIT. The C-V curves of Ag/SBT-BIT/p-Si heterostructures show the clockwise hysteresis loops which reveal the memory effect due to the polarization. The memory window in C-V curve of Ag/SBT-BIT/p-Si is larger than that of Ag/SBT/p-Si heterostructure or Ag/BIT/p-Si heterostructure.

A low-cost non-vacuum process for fabrication of Cu2SnSe3 film by sol-gel method and knife-coating process is described. First, a certain amount of Copper (I) chloride and tin (IV) tetrachloride was dissolve into the mixture of water and alcohol and then some Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) was added to the solution to obtain based colloidal solution. Next, precursor thin layer was deposited by knife-blading technique on soda-lime glass (SLG). Finally, precursor layer was annealed at selenium flow atmosphere carried by Ar gas at 550oC. Through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra, it is found that pure Cu2SnSe3 film was prepared successfully. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–vis–NIR absorbance spectroscopy were used to characterize its morphology and optical bandgap.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric lead lanthanum titanate (Pb1−xLaxTi1−x/4O3) (PLTx) thin films (x=0.04,0.08 and 0.12) have been prepared by sol-gel spin coating process on ITO coated 7059 Corning glass substrates. Investigations have been made on the crystal structure, surface morphology, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the thin films. For a better understanding of the crystallization mechanism, the structural investigations were carried out at various annealing temperatures (350°C, 450°C, 550°C and 650°C). Characterization of these films by X-ray diffraction shows that the films annealed at 650°C exhibit tetragonal structure with perovskite phase. Replacement of lanthanum in lead titanate results in reduction of tetragonal ratio (c/a), resulting in better mechanical stability. Microstructural analysis of the films are carried out by taking the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) pictures. AFM images are characterized by slight surface roughness with a uniform crack free, densely packed structure. Dielectric, pyroelectric and ferroelectric studies carried out on these films have been reported. Dielectric constant and pyroelectric coefficient increase while Curie temperature decreases with increase in La content. The pyroelectric figures of merit of the films have also been calculated which suggest that 8% lanthanum is best suited material for pyroelectric detectors owing to its high pyroelectric coefficient (∼ 29nC/cm2 K), high voltage responsivity (∼420Vcm2/J), high detectivity (∼1.04×10−5Pa−1/2) and low variation of pyrocoefficient with temperature.

TiO2 thin film was prepared on soda lime glass by hydrolysis of Ti(OC4H9)4 in alcoholic solutions by sol-gel method combined with spin-coating and calcination different temperatures. Prepared samples were characterized by XRD, FESEM, and measurement of contact angles and transmittance. XRD identification reveals that the films are composed of anatase TiO2 when the annealing temperature was set at 450~550 oC. SiO2 layer was coated on the surface of the glass firstly to barrier the diffusing of sodium ions from the substrate. Light-induced superhydrophilicity of the TiO2 thin film has been investigated. To increase the illumination light intensity will decrease the water contact angle. The superhydrophilicity of the TiO2 thin film will disappear more slowly in the dark than that in the field of ultrasound.

TiO2-Al2O3 composite thin films were fabricated on soda-lime glass with sol-gel technology. By measuring the contact angle of water with the film surface and the analysis of the XRD and XPS, we studied the influence of Al2O3 doping concentration and film thickness on the hydrophilicity of the composite films. The results indicate that the doping of Al2O3 into TiO2 and the relatively large thickness of the films can improve their hydrophilicity.
