    Notes: Thin film capacitors of Au/Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–7%PbTiO3 [PMN–(0.07)PT]/(La1/2Sr1/2)CoO3 were made by pulsed laser deposition on single crystal {001} MgO substrates. The PMN–(0.07)PT dielectric was perovskite dominated, and demonstrated functional behavior typical of relaxors. Electrostrictive behavior was observed at fields up to 200 kV cm−1, however, the maximum strain was disappointingly low at only ∼0.14%. The macroscopic electromechanical d33 and Q33 coefficients were determined using piezo-response atomic force microscopy. At 100 kV cm−1 the macroscopic Q33 was found to be (2.6±0.2)×10−2 C−2 m4. The crystallographic electrostrictive coefficient was determined using in-situ x-ray diffraction and at the same field found to be significantly higher: (4.9±0.2)×10−2 C−2 m4. Since these electrostrictive coefficients are of the same order of magnitude as found in single crystal experiments (2.5–3.8×10−2 C−2 m4), it appears that the low out-of-plane strain is simply the result of poor polarizability in the thin films. An effective Q13 component of the electrostrictive tensor was also determined, and found to be ∼−0.32 ×10−2 C−2 m4. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Strongly oriented thin film capacitors of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 were made by pulsed laser deposition and found to show a decreased temperature of the dielectric maximum (Tm) relative to bulk. The in-plane strain was measured and found to be compressive, a feature that is normally associated with increased Curie temperatures in conventional ferroelectrics. Other features, such as a more pronounced frequency dependence of Tm in thin films than in bulk, were also noted. An attempt to rationalize these differences by consideration of thermal expansion mismatch between substrate and film is presented. The shifts in Tm are modeled using a semiempirical Landau–Ginzburg–Devonshire model, in which the first coefficient of the thermodynamic potential has been modified to have a quadratic, rather than linear, temperature dependence. The predictions of the model are compared with experimental results from this work and other reports on relaxor thin films extracted from the literature. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Pulsed-laser deposition was used to make thin films of NdNiO3 on a variety of substrates. The films were found to be single phase perovskite in all cases. However, the transport behavior varied strongly as a function of the substrate used: the films were semiconducting on MgO, but showed a metal-semiconductor phase transition on SrTiO3 and NdGaO3. The best electrical-switching properties corresponded to films grown on NdGaO3, with the resistivity changing abruptly by more than two orders of magnitude at TMI∼185 K. Very thin films (∼35 nm) were also grown on NdGaO3 substrates to investigate the epitaxial strain effect on the transition. It appears that biaxial tensile strain stabilizes the high temperature metallic phase, thus lowering TMI. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) thin film planar capacitor structures. X-ray diffraction and plan-view transmission electron microscopy were used to verify PMN crystallography. The dc leakage current and ac capacitance and dielectric loss were measured as a function of temperature and frequency. Finally, crystallographic strain as a function of applied dc field was monitored in situ by x-ray diffraction. The electromechanical strain response was found to depend on the deposition conditions for each capacitor. Tensile strains of ∼0.2% and compressive strains of ∼0.35%, both parallel to the applied field, were measured for capacitors of different oxygen contents and thicknesses. Tensile strains achieved are higher than previously reported for PMN thin films or polycrystalline ceramics. We propose that the compressive strains are not an intrinsic property of the PMN. Instead they are induced by the combined effect of joule heating of the capacitor structure, caused by leakage currents, and thermal expansion mismatch between the substrate and films. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A Maxwell–Wagner series capacitor model is proposed to explain anomalous dielectric properties of ferroelectric superlattices. The results of the model show that a superlattice consisting of normal ferroelectric layers separated by low-resistivity interfacial regions can account for most experimental results reported to date, namely: dielectric enhancement for certain stacking periodicities, giant permittivities, and temperature migration of dielectric maxima as a function of frequency. The predictions of the model are discussed and compared to our own experimental results from thin film superlattice capacitors made by pulsed-laser deposition. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been used to fabricate simple thin film capacitor structures with a variety of ferroelectric materials. Thin film capacitors using the conventional ferroelectric material BaxSr1-xTiO3(BSTO) have been made across the entire compositional series. Electrical characterization shows that in thin film form these ferroelectrics display Curie point behaviour which is largely independent of composition. This contrasts sharply with bulk behaviour. The thin film fabrication and characterization of relaxor ferroelectric ceramics, such as Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) and Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-BaTiO3(PZN-BT), is also reported. © 1998 Chapman & Hall

    Notes: Abstract Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been used to fabricate relaxor thin films and thin film capacitors based on the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 system. Best capacitor structures show dielectric constants (ɛr) of ∼1000 and losses (tan δ) ∼0.02 at 1 kHz at 300 K. Electromechanical investigations show that tensile longitudinal strains of up to 0.2% can be achieved in these films.
