S. Sengupta et al., THE EFFECT OF CERAMIC TARGET PROCESSING ON PULSED-LASER DEPOSITED THIN-FILMS OF BARIUM STRONTIUM TITANIUM-OXIDE, Integrated ferroelectrics, 18(1-4), 1997, pp. 425-435
The effect of ball-milling on the powder, electronic, and optical prop
erties of the barium strontium titanium oxide (Ba1-xSrxTiO3, BSTO; 0 l
ess than or equal to x less than or equal to 1) ceramics have been stu
died in detail.([1]) Thin films of these BSTO compositions were synthe
sized by the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) method. The ablation target
s were prepared from unmilled and milled powders of BSTO. The structur
al, optical, and electronic properties of the bulk ceramics and the th
in films were investigated. A detailed report of these studies will be
presented.
