Popis: | Thin films of lead titanate (PbTiO 3 -PT) have been prepared in-situ on SrTiO 3 (100) substrates using radio-frequency sputtering. The epitaxial quality of the films has been investigated as a function of the substrate temperature. Stoichiometric films have been obtained in the temperature range 550°C-600°C. Films have a high degree of c-axis oriented crystalline structure. The optimum conditions for growing epitaxial PbTiO 3 layers are reported in this study. Thin films grown at 550°C exhibited a rocking curve full width at a half maximum (FWHM) of 0.26°. The refractive index calculated from optical transmission method has been evaluated to 2.61 @ 632.8nm. which represents 98% of the corresponding bulk material. |
