Abstract
Environment-friendly Ferroelectric Mn:BST//Mn:BZT multilayer with additional 2% Mn doping were epitaxially fabricated on (001) MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition with same thickness but different stacking periodic numbers or each layer thickness. Microstructure studies by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicate that the multilayer is c-axis oriented with good epitaxial nature. The microwave (∼18GHz) dielectric property measurements show that the dielectric loss tangent rapidly decreases with the increase of each layer thickness. The loss tangent can be lowered down to ∼0.043 at ∼18GHz, which suggests that the Mn:BST//Mn:BZT multilayer system has great potential for the development of room temperature microwave elements and related applications.
