Abstract

Ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) films were prepared by the spin coating technique on platinum, quartz and YBa2Cu3O7-x/LaA1O3 substrates from a methoxyethanol solution of bismuth isopropoxide (Bi(OCH(CH3)2)3) and strontium tantalum isopropoxide (SrTa2(OCH(CH3)2)12). X-Ray diffraction studies showed some crystallization occurred after annealing the films under oxygen flow at 600 °C and excellent crystallinity was achieved after annealing at 750 °C for 0.5 h. Electron microprobe analysis gave a composition close to that expected for SBT, and atomic force microscopy gave a root mean square surface roughness of 101 A. An hysteresis measurement (1 kHz) gave remnant polarization (2Pr), saturation polarization (Ps) and coercive field (Ec) values of 14.5 μC/cm2, 14.5 μ/cm2 and 59 kV/cm, respectively.
