Abstract

PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3 (PZT) multilayers with total thickness of a few microns have been grown on quartz substrates by using sol gel technique. The PZT multilayer displays a well-defined polarization hysteresis loop with a nominally average remanent polarization of 36.5 μC/cm2 and an average coercive field of 66.5 kV/cm under a maximum applied voltage of 100 V. With 17 periods, 95% reflectivity and 62 nm stop-band width have been achieved at room temperature, indicating that the quasiperiodic PZT multilayer can be used as dielectric reflectors and filters.
