Abstract

Sol-gel derived PLZT, including PbTiO3, PbLaTiO3 28, PLZT 9/65/35 and PZT 53/47 films were prepared on platinized substrates. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the films were measured at 260K-580K. The values of polarization, coercive field, dielectric constant and dissipation factor in these films typically increased with increasing temperature. The changes in dielectric properties of the films with temperature were not sharp unlike the transitions in single crystals or bulk ceramics. The pyroelectric coefficients, on the other hand, decreased monotonically with increasing temperature in all these films.
