Oriented ferroelectric thin films of PbTiO3 , (Pb,La)TiO3, and Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 by nebulized spray pyrolysis

Abstract

Nebulized spray pyrolysis provides a good low‐temperature chemical route for preparing thin films of PbTiO3, (Pb0.9,La0.1)TiO3 and Pb(Zr0.52,Ti0.48)O3. The films are a‐ or c‐ axis oriented, with spherical grains of ∼30 nm and give satisfactory P‐E hysteresis loops. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
