Abstract:
Ferroelectrics are a class of materials characterized by a spontaneous polarization which can be switched by applying an electric field; its expression is a typical hysteresis loop polarization P – electric field E. They undergo a structural phase transition from a high temperature paraelectric into a low-temperature ferroelectric phase at Curie temperature. The preparation of these materials in thin film form is a challenging problem, due to their complex composition, the appearance of metastable phases, crystallinity, interface problems, defects, oxygen vacancies, etc. The possibility to transfer complicated stoichiometries directly from the target to a collector pushed Pulsed Laser Deposition in a top position to be applied for piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin films growth. Results obtained in the field of pulsed laser deposition of piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin films are presented.
