Metal alkoxide dopants for a pyridine based solution process to metal oxides
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States); and others
Recently, we have developed a simple and rapid process for synthesizing precursor solutions for lead containing ceramic materials, termed the {open_quotes}Basic Route to PZT{close_quotes} (or BRP) process. The BRP process offers several advantages over standard methods, including: rapid solution synthesis (< 10 minutes), use of commercially available materials, film production under ambient conditions, ease of dopant dissolution at high concentrations (< 1 min.), and no heating requirements during solution synthesis. The synthesis and characterization of a series of Nb, La and Sn alkoxide dopants which were added to BRP solution will be reported along with the effect they have on film morphology and ferroelectric properties. Due to the {open_quotes}chemical simplicity{close_quotes} of the BRP solution, computer modeling has been initiated.
