Sol-gel processing of lead-free (Na,K)NbO3 ferroelectric films
Source abstract
Abstract
The sol-gel processing of lead-free (Na,K) NbO3 ferroelectric films was studied. Sodium ethoxide (NaOC2H5) and potassium ethoxide (KOC2H5) were prepared by reacting solid Na and K with ethanol (99.7%) in a solvent of 2-methoxyethanol. 0.5-μm-thick (Na,K)NbO3 thin films with orthorhombic perovskite structure were obtained by pyrolyzing at 400°C and annealing at 800–900°C. The films had relatively dense and uniform microstructure with grain size of about 50 nm, whose ferroelectricity was proved by the P-E hysteresis loop measurement. It was found that excess K was effective to reduce the annealing temperature for the crystallization of sol-gel-derived (Na,K)NbO3 thin films.
