Abstract
In this work the nucleation and growth of PZT (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3) and PLZT ((Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3) thin films with high Ti content are studied. The optimisation of solution processing of alkoxy-alcohol route results in the crystallization of pure perovskite phase of PZT 30/70 and PLZT 5/30/70 after annealing at 400 °C. The films exhibit good functional response (PZT: Pr 33 μC/cm2 Ec 99 kV/cm ϵ 640 and tan δ 0.124).
