摘要
1,3 Propanediol based Sol-Gel (Na0.5K0.5) NbO3 (NKN) lead-free thin films were synthesized on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. Na-acetate, K-acetate, and Nb-pentaethoxide were used as metal precursors and 1,3 propanediol as solvent. The influence of different calcination temperatures on the properties of the NKN thin films was analysed by SEM pictures, XRD, hysteresis and leakage current measurements. Low calcination temperatures led to low leakage currents over the whole electric field range. Based on these findings a calcination at low temperatures was combined with a post annealing step. In this way low leakage currents of 6 x 10(-5) A/cm(2) at an electric field of 150 kV/cm and 2 P-r and 2 E-c values of 26.6 mu C/cm(2) and 214 kV/cm, respectively, could be achieved. All films with post annealing treatment were free of pore and crack formation on the surface and crystallized in the single perovskite phase of NKN. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
