摘要
KNbO3 films were grown at 240 degrees C by the hydrothermal method using KOH and Nb2O5 as source materials. Film thickness increased with reaction time up to 3 h, however decreased for longer reaction times. A 16-mu m-thick epitaxially grown KNbO3 film with {100}(pc) orientation were successfully grown on (100)(c)SrRuO3 parallel to SrTiO3 substrate for 3 h. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss at 100 kHz were 415 and 8%, respectively. Clear hysteresis loops originating from ferroelectricity were observed and the remanent polarization was 20 mu C/cm(2) at the maximum applied electric field of 220 kV/cm. The effective longitudinal piezoelectric constant, d(33)(eff) obtained using a laser Doppler velocimeter, was 86pm/V. (C) 2009 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
