Abstract

The nanostructure evolution of PZT, PT and T thin films has been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) supported by other techniques such as thermal analysis, thermal mass spectrometric analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis. The evolution follows a common progression from amorphous film, to the development of condensed regions that develop crystalline order, to the final polycrystalline oxide thin film. If the precursor gel contains lead, the film develops fluctuating surface “blisters” that evolve to an oxide final product as well. Minor structural and compositional differences exist across the final oxide thin film.
