Abstract
Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (PMN) alkoxide precursor solutions were synthesized and u sed to prepare thin layers on TiO2/Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by spin coati ng. Many parameters like homogeneity of the solution and appropriate proces sing must be controlled to minimize the pyrochlore formation. Optimization of the processing allowed highly (111)-oriented thin films to be obtained. Dielectric measurements and TEM investigations were performed and showed th at PMN thin films exhibit relaxer behavior.
