Effects of lanthanum doping on the preferred orientation, phase structure and electrical properties of sol–gel derived Pb1–3x/2Lax (Zr0.6Ti0.4)O3 thin films

Thickness effect on the structure, grain size, and local piezoresponse of self-polarized lead lanthanum zirconate titanate thin films

“…18 In addition, the (111)-preferred orientations for tetragonal PLZT films prepared by rf-sputtering have been attributed to lattice mismatch with the (111)-oriented platinum substrate. 17 In the present work, there was no indication of the lattice matching between film and the substrate or of the presence of an additional intermediate phase between film-substrate leading to observed small (100)-orientation tendency. Probably, the growth tendency observed in the present work for thinner films relaxes at thicker films after multiple depositions.…”

“…16,17 For rhombohedral films prepared by sol-gel method, these have been attributed the (100)-orientation of PLZT thin films on Pt substrates to the presence of a PbO buffer layer while the (111)-orientation have been mainly associated with the lattice matching between filmsubstrate or to the effect an inter-metallic phase Pt [5][6][7] Pb in the early stage of the crystallization. 18 In addition, the (111)-preferred orientations for tetragonal PLZT films prepared by rf-sputtering have been attributed to lattice mismatch with the (111)-oriented platinum substrate.…”

Impedance and electric modulus analysis of Sm-modified Pb(Zr0.55Ti0.45)1−x/4O3 ceramics

“…An extensive literature survey of pure and modified PZT ceramics [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] reveals that most of the reported works in this field are confined to La-modified PZT. It has shown tremendous applications in the solid-state electronic devices.…”

Rational Assembly of Superstructure Microparticles into Mosaic‐Like Highly Oriented Monolayer for Glucose‐Responsive Electrodes

“…It has been reported that a trace of chlorine could fill the iodine vacancies in CuI and bring about an improved crystallinity. [ 26–29 ] As expected, oriented aggregation of well‐crystallized CuI nanocrystals favored the crystallographic orientation in the formed s‐CuI building blocks, which further contributed to the high orientation in the mosaic‐like s‐CuI monolayer assembled at the air/water interface. However, with the saturated incorporation of Cl in the CuI lattice, the slight lattice distortion or reorientation effect might dominate due to the differences in ionic radius and charge density between the two halide ions.…”
