Abstract

By a chemical solution deposition method, 92%Pb(Mg1/3Nb 2/3)O3-8%PbTiO3 (PMNT) thin films have been prepared on LaNiO3 (LNO)-coated (1 0 0) silicon and sapphire substrate. X-ray diffraction analysis shows the PMNT thin films on LNO-coated silicon as polycrystals with (1 0 0)-preferential orientation. A Pt/PMNT/LNO capacitor has been fabricated and it showed that the PMNT thin films have obvious ferroelectric character, with saturation polarization (Ps), remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of 25.5 μC/cm2, 11.9 μC/cm2 and 168 kV/cm, respectively. The dielectric constant (*r) reaches 270 and the dissipation factor is very low at 1 kHz. By the optical transmission spectra measurement, the optical constants (n and k ) and absorption coefficient (α) of the PMNT thin films on sapphire substrate in the wavelength range of 200-1100 nm are all obtained. The energy gap (Eg) of the PMNT thin films on the sapphire substrate was found to be about 4.03 eV.
