Popis: Dielectric property of a composition-spread LiNb 1-x Ta x O 3 thin film, fabricated by the combinatorial pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method, was systematically characterized by the scanning microwave microscope (SμM). Measured frequency shift showed a broad maximum around x = 0.2-0.5, and gradually decreased with x, resulting in a lower dielectric constant in the LiTaO 3 side compared to the LiNbO 3 side. The trend of frequency shift has been revealed to possess a strong correlation with the sharpness of XRD peak, suggesting that lowering of dielectric constant is principally brought about by the degradation of crystallinity.
