Abstract

Lead zirconate PbZrO₃ (PZ) and PbZr_0.53Ti_0.47O₃ (PZT) sol-gel films with a thickness of up to 1.5 μm were deposited on TiO₂/Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrates by spin coating technique and heterostructures of the same composition as well as on Pb_0.92La_0.08 (Zr_0.65Ti_0.35)O₃ (PLZT-8) (with a thickness of 0.4 μm) were pulse laser deposited (PLD) on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si. Observation of a typical antiferroelectric (AFE) double hysteresis loop in obtained PZ heterostructures at room temperature was attributed to the superior dielectric strength in case of thin film materials. The thermal behavior of dielectric permittivity ε of PZ film reveals a maximum near 225°C on heating and 219°C on cooling. The higher resistance of antiferroelectric PZ thin films as compared to ferroelectric (e.g., PZT, PLZT-8) heterostructures to neutron irradiation (up to fluence 2x10²²m^-2)^* is recognized and discussed.
