Abstract
Pb(Zrx,Ti1-x)O3 thin films of homogeneous composition were synthesized by means of a modified sol-gel route on Pt(111)/TiOx/SiO2/Si substrates. The usually observed gradient in B-site composition could be reduced from plusmn12 to plusmn2.5 at% amplitude in Zr concentration fluctuations. The obtained 2 mum thick, dense and crack free films exhibited a {100}-texture index of 98.4%. Grain diameters increased at the same time by 50%. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties were remarkably improved. The relative dielectric constant epsiv33f was obtained as 1620, and the remanent transverse piezoelectric coefficient e31f-was measured as -17.7 C/m2.
