Ds. Paik et al., SOL-GEL FABRICATION OF SAMARIUM AND MANGANESE MODIFIED LEAD TITANATE THIN-FILMS AND CERAMICS, Materials letters, 32(2-3), 1997, pp. 97-101
Samarium and manganese modified lead titanate thin films were deposite
d on Pt coated Si (100) substrates by spin coating using a precursor s
olution prepared from Pb, Sm and Mn acetates and Ti-isopropoxide with
acetic acid and n-propanol as solvents. The gel powder on hear treatme
nt showed (101) as the highest intensity peak while the thin films dep
osited on Pt coated silicon substrates showed a preferential orientati
on of (100). These films after being annealed at 900 degrees C for 1 h
showed good remanent polarization and coercive fields.
