Abstract
We have performed depth profile studies on PZT films of different thickness. Thin epitaxial films of PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 have been deposited on mono-crystalline (001) LaAlO3 substrate by pulsed laser deposition. Grazing incidence X-ray scattering was used to study the films' structure. GIXS technique was used to analyze the in-plane compression of lattice parameters as a function of depth within the films.
