摘要
Pb(Nb0.02Zr0.2Ti0.8)O-3 thin films with thickness of 900 nm were spincoated on platinized silicon substrate using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy show that the films are highly a-axis-oriented with columnar structure. A large remnant polarization (P-r(+)) similar to92.2 muC/cm(-2) was observed for as-grown films. The coercive field (E-c(+)) for these films was 159.3 kV/cm. Good pyroelectric properties are obtained as a result of large remnant and spontaneous polarization and their strong temperature dependence. The pyroelectric coefficient and figure of merit at room temperature (22degreesC) are 10.8x10(-4) C m(-2) K-1 and 2.34x10(-5) Pa-1/2, respectively. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
