Abstract

A method of analyzing variable-angle null-ellipsometry and reflectometry measurement data is proposed for barium titanate BaTiO3 (BT), lead zirconate titanate PbZr0,47Ti0,53O3 (PZT) and lead magnesium niobate Pb(Mn0,33Nb0,67)O3 (PMN) thin films grown on Si/SiO2/Ti/Pt, Si/TiO2/Pt, substrates by laser ablation, sol-gel and rf sputtering. The refractive and absorption coefficients of the samples are determined in the phonon energy range of 1.65 - 3.53 eV. The variation of the optical property in BT thin films of various thickness was observed and explained by the characteristic film structure.
