Epitaxial growth of 0.95(Bi 0.5 K 0.5 )TiO 3 -0.05Bi(Mg 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 (BKT-BMT) films on silicon substrates at the morphotropic phase boundary composition has been achieved for the first time using pulsed laser deposition. Perovskite films with a cube-on-cube relationship grew on the platinum bottom electrode at a substrate temperature of 450 °C-550 °C. Both the Bi/(Mg + Ti) and K/(Mg + Ti) ratios decreased with increasing substrate temperature. A film with an approximately stoichiometric composition was obtained at a substrate temperature of 450 °C. The BKT-BMT film has a high lattice anisotropy parameter (c/a) of 1.048 because a large strain of 0.7%-1.0% is introduced into the film. Its remanent polarization (P r ) and coercive field (E c ) are 60 μC cm −2 and 200 kV cm −1 , respectively. The transverse piezoelectric coefficient (e 31,f ) of the BKT-BMT films is −2.2 C cm −2 . The BKT-BMT film has superior displacement linearity with regard to different electric fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
