Abstract:
Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3/La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (PMN/LSCO) heterostructures have been deposited by laser ablation. A parametric study has been performed to evidence the influence of the laser wavelength (265 nm, 355 nm, 530 nm and 1060 nm), laser fluence (2-25 J/cm2), oxygen pressure (0.2-0.8 mbar) and substrate temperature (400-700 0C) on the dielectric constant and on the piezoelectric properties. The film composition was studied by Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) and their crystallinity by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. The room temperature small-signal dielectric constant and loss factor of the films has been measured on structures with 1mm x 1mm evaporated Au top electrodes, by using an impedance analyzer. Pyroclore free PMN films have been obtained for UV laser ablation and substrate temperature higher than 600 0C. A columnar structure was evidenced by cross-section Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The obtained values of the relative dielectric constant have been found to be superior to 2000, depending on the film crystallinity and orientation.
