| Title: | Structure of nanocrystalline powder and thin films of lead lanthanum titanate prepared by the sol-gel process | Authors: | Zhou, Q Chan, HLW Zhang, Q Choy, CL |
Issue Date: | 1996 | Source: | ISE 9 : 9th International Symposium on Electrets : Shanghai, 25-30 September, 1996 : proceedings, p. 656-661 | Abstract: | Ultrafine powder and thin films of lead lanthanum titanate (PLT) were prepared by the sol-gel process. The structural variation of the powder with increasing annealing temperature was monitored by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and x-ray diffraction. The lowest temperature for the formation of nanocrystals in the powder was found to be about 500°C. Crystallites of various sizes were obtained by controlling the annealing temperature and time. Thin films of PLT were fabricated by spin casting the sol-gel solution onto Si(111) substrates and the microstructure was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. By controlling the concentration of the precursor and the processing temperature, PLT thin films with uniform crystallite size could be prepared. | Keywords: | Annealing Crystal microstructure Differential thermal analysis Ferroelectric materials Nanostructured materials Powders Scanning electron microscopy Temperature control Thermal effects Thermogravimetric analysis Thin films X-ray diffraction |
