Abstract

Composition-structure-properties relationships were studied in iron doped compositions of lead zirconate-titanate thin films using dielectric spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Samples under investigation were sol-gel deposited lead zirconate titanate PbZr0,50Ti0,50O3 (PZT) family thin films on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates. Spatially resolved piezoresponse imaging of poled regions and polarization switching response in various granular regions polar ferroelectric thin films was studied using scanning probe microscope operating in modified multi-pass regimes combining voltage lithography mode with immediate testing of local surface piezoresponse.
