Abstract

Non-traditional precursor solutions for production of ferroelectric thin films have been developed for PXZT (X = L, N, S), SBT, and PMN systems. For PXZT and SBT, pyridine is a key solvent, wherein, it both solubilizes and reduces the reactivity of the individualcomponents of the solution. Further control of the final films has been obtained using novel tailor-made precursors to dictate their properties.
