Abstract

PbZr0.4 Ti0.6 O3 films were fabricated on glass slices coated with a layer of F-doped transparent conductive tin oxide layer by chemical solution deposition. The evolution of microstructures and related properties of the PbZr0.4 Ti0.6 O3 films with annealing temperature were studied. The films show a perovskite phase and a crack-free surface morphology. The films annealed at >550 °C display a distinguishable layered structure consisting of dense and porous PbZr0.4 Ti0.6 O3 layers. The sample treated at 650 °C exhibits the largest average remanent polarization of 29.2 μC/ cm2 and peak reflectivity of 95% among the films. 650 °C appears to be the best processing condition for the growth of PbZr0.4 Ti0.6 O3 multilayers with excellent ferroelectric and optical properties on F-doped tin oxide thin films.
