Abstract

High-throughput synthesis of the ferroelectric solid solution Pb(Zr{sub 1-x}Ti{sub x})O{sub 3} (PZT) on single Pt/Ti/SiO{sub 2}/Si substrates was demonstrated using a modified molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The PZT films exhibited a phase transition from rhombohehdral to tetragonal symmetry as a function of Zr:Ti ratio, across the substrate diagonal. This was consistent with the presence of a morphotropic phase boundary at Zr:Ti ratio of 0.64:0.36, different from the value of 0.53:0.47 observed for bulk ceramics. All points on the films exhibited ferroelectric hysteresis. Results demonstrate the feasibility of high-throughput MBE for deposition of complex ferroelectric oxides, and pave the way for further materials discovery.

A monoclinic ferroelectric phase in the Pb(Zr{sub 1{minus}x}Ti{sub x})O{sub 3} solid solution

Noheda, B. ; Cox, D.E. ; Shirane, G. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

A previously unreported ferroelectric phase has been discovered in a highly homogeneous sample of PbZr{sub 0.52}Ti{sub 0.48}O{sub 3} by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction measurements. At ambient temperature the sample has tetragonal symmetry (a{sub t}=4.037{Angstrom}, c{sub t}=4.138{Angstrom}), and transforms below {approximately}250 K into a phase which, unexpectedly, has monoclinic symmetry (a{sub m}=5.717{Angstrom}, b{sub m}=5.703{Angstrom}, c{sub m}=4.143{Angstrom}, {beta}=90.53{degree}, at 20 K). The intensity data strongly indicate that the polar axis lies in the monoclinic {ital ac} plane close to the pseudocubic [111] direction, which would be an example of the species m3m(12)A2Fm predicted on symmetry grounds by Shuvalov. {copyright} {ital 1999more » American Institute of Physics.}« less

Antihysteresis of the electrical resistivity of graphene on a ferroelectric Pb(Zr{sub x}Ti{sub 1-x})O{sub 3} substrate

Kurchak, A. I. ; Strikha, M. V., E-mail: maksym_strikha@hotmail.com - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

A quantitative model is developed to explain the antihysteretic behavior of the electrical resistivity of graphene on a ferroelectric Pb(Zr{sub x}Ti{sub 1-x})O{sub 3} substrate as a function of the gate voltage. The model takes into account the trapping of the electrons from the graphene layer by the states related to the graphene-ferroelectric interface. The finite energy gap of impurity states is also taken into account, which makes it possible to describe the well-known experimental dependences, including an increase and the subsequent saturation of a 'memory window' with the switching gate voltage. The obtained estimates can be important for creating next-generationmore »« less

The morphotropic phase boundary and dielectric properties of the xPb(Zr{sub 1/2}Ti{sub 1/2})O{sub 3}-(1-x)Pb(Ni{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3} perovskite solid solution

Vittayakorn, Naratip ; Rujijanagul, Gobwute ; Tan, Xiaoli ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The solid solution between the normal ferroelectric Pb(Zr{sub 1/2}Ti{sub 1/2})O{sub 3} (PZT) and relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Ni{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3} (PNN) was synthesized by the columbite method. The phase structure and dielectric properties of xPZT-(1-x)PNN where x=0.4-0.9 and the Zr/Ti composition was fixed close to the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) were investigated. With these data, the ferroelectric phase diagram between PZT and PNN has been established. The relaxor ferroelectric nature of PNN gradually transformed towards a normal ferroelectric state towards the composition 0.7PZT-0.3PNN, in which the permittivity was characterized by a sharp peak and the disappearance of dispersive behavior.

Field-induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric transitions in (Pb _1–xLa _x)(Zr _0.90Ti _0.10) _1–x/ ₄O ₃ investigated by in situ X-ray diffraction

Ciuchi, Ioana V. ; Chung, Ching -Chang ; Fancher, Christopher M. ; ... - Journal of the European Ceramic Society

Phase transitions and field-induced preferred orientation in (Pb _1-xLa _x)(Zr _0.90Ti _0.10) _1–x/ ₄O ₃ (PLZT x/90/10) ceramics upon electric field cycling using in situ X-ray diffraction were studied. The evolution of the {200} _pc and {111} _pc diffraction line profiles indicate that PLZT 4/90/10 and PLZT 3/90/10 compositions undergo an antiferroelectric (AFE)–ferroelectric (FE) phase switching. Both PLZT 4/90/10 and PLZT 3/90/10 exhibit irreversible preferred orientation after experiencing the field-induced AFE-to-FE phase switching. An electric field-induced structure develops in both compositions which has a reversible character during the field decreasing in PLZT 4/90/10 and an irreversible character in PLZT 3/90/10.more »« less

Landau-Ginzburg thermodynamic formalism is used for the description of the anomalous ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, and magnetoelectric properties of Pb(Fe{sub 1/2}Ta{sub 1/2}){sub x}(Zr{sub 0.53}Ti{sub 0.47}){sub 1−x}O{sub 3} and Pb(Fe{sub 1/2}Nb{sub 1/2}){sub x}(Zr{sub 0.53}Ti{sub 0.47}){sub 1−x}O{sub 3} micro-ceramics. We calculated temperature, composition, and external field dependences of ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases transition temperatures, remanent polarization, magnetization, hysteresis loops, dielectric permittivity, and magnetoelectric coupling. Special attention was paid to the comparison of developed theory with experiments. It appeared possible to describe adequately main experimental results including a reasonable agreement between the shape of calculated and measured hysteresis loops and remnant polarization.
