M. Sedlar et M. Sayer, STUDY OF ELECTRICAL-PROPERTIES OF RAPID THERMALLY PROCESSED LEAD IRONNIOBATE FILMS SYNTHESIZED BY A SOL-GEL METHOD, Journal of applied physics, 80(1), 1996, pp. 372-375
Lead iron niobate thin films were synthesized using a modified sol gel
method. Films processed at temperatures as low as 400 degrees C had a
dielectric constant K approximate to 400. K of approximate to 1000 an
d a low loss factor tan delta approximate to 0.02 were obtained for fi
lms rapid thermally processed between 650-700 degrees C. Films process
ed at approximate to 400 degrees C showed a more linear behavior and w
ere able to endure higher electric fields up to 1.6 MV/cm. The remanen
t polarization P-r and coercive field H-c for films processed at 650 d
egrees C/1 s were 4.5 mu C/cm(2) and 40 kV/cm, respectively. Leakage c
urrent densities of films increased with processing temperature and we
re of the order of 4 and 10 nA/cm(2) for films multiply processed at 4
25 degrees C/30 s and 650 degrees C/1 s, respectively. (C) 1996 Americ
