ABSTRACT

Volume fractions of tetragonal phase (V T) in the epitaxial Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thick films were evaluated using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The crystal structure was the single phase of tetragonal and rhombohedral when Zr/(Zr+Ti) ratio was under 0.43 and over 0.6, respectively. There was the two phases coexistence between 0.43 and 0.6 of Zr/(Zr+Ti) ratio. It was found that the dominant crystal phase change from tetragonal to rhombohedral one with increasing the Zr/(Zr+Ti) ratio. However, crystal symmetry was not uniform; V T was found to gradually change along film thickness direction from near the substrate to the film surface.
