Abstract

The difficulties in synthesizing phase pure BaTiO 3 doped-(Na 0.5Bi 0.5)TiO 3 are known. In this work, we reporting the optimized pulsed laser deposition (PLD) conditions for obtaining pure phase 0.92(Na 0.5Bi 0.5)TiO 3–0.08BaTiO 3, (BNT–BT 0.08), thin films. Dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of BNT–BT 0.08, thin films deposited by PLD on Pt/TiO 2/SiO 2/Si substrates are investigated in this paper. Perovskite structure of BNT–BT 0.08 thin films with random orientation of nanocrystallites has been obtained by deposition at 600 °C. The relative dielectric constant and loss tangent at 100 kHz, of BNT–BT 0.08 thin film with 530 nm thickness, were 820 and 0.13, respectively. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements indicated a remnant polarization value of 22 μC/cm 2 and a coercive field of 120 kV/cm. The piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) data showed that most of the grains seem to be constituted of single ferroelectric domain. The as-deposited BNT–BT 0.08 thin film is ferroelectric at the nanoscale level and piezoelectric.
