Abstract

Thin films of lead titanate were fabricated by chemically modified sol-gel processing. The complex alkoxides were prepared by reacting lead acetate with titanium tri-isopropoxide monoacetylacetonate. Titanium tri-isopropoxide mono-acetylacetonate was synthesized by addition of acetylacetone to titanium tetraisopropoxide as a chelating agent. Processing parameters were systematically investigated to fabricate homogeneous and crack-free films. Thin films were deposited on the silica glass, Si(100), and Pt/MgO(100) substrates by dip-coating. X-Ray diffraction analyses (XRD) were carried out for powder samples and thin films to examine the crystalline phase, crystallographic orientation and lattice parameters.
