Characterization of Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 Thin-Films Obtained by MOD
Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin films were deposited by dip-coating on polycrystalline alumina substrates by using an MOD method. The thickness and homogeneity of the films were measured as a function of dip rates and solution concentration. Heating and cooling schedules determined the main structure of the crystallized films. Rheology measurements and Fourier transform-infrared spectra were carried out to obtain a better knowledge of the solution features. A microstructural development study and some ferroelectric measurements were also carried out.
