Processing and properties of in-situ pulsed laser deposited PMN-PT thin films

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Thin films of PMN and PMN-PT were prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on MgO(100) and Pt coated Si substrates. Processing parameters such as substrate temperature, oxygen pressure, and substrate material have a significant effect on perovskite phase formation. Pure perovskite PMN and PMN-PT were obtained at substrate temperatures in the range of 535° to 565 °C and an oxygen pressure of 200 mTorr. Perovskite PMN phase prefers to nucleate on the MgO(100) which has a smoother surface than that of the Pt coated Si substrate. An LSCO layer on Pt coated Si substrates promoted perovskite phase formation. The electrical properties of PMN and PMN-PT thin films were evaluated. A maximum dielectric constant of 4500 and dielectric loss of 0.05 at 1 kHz were obtained. The charge storage density of the films was about 100 fC/μm2 at 50 kV/cm.
