Abstract

Ferroelectric thin films of PZT and PMN-PT were fabricated by the solgel spin-on technique. The films show high dielectric constants, polarization and breakdown strength values. Using a laser interferometer (ultradilatometer), the piezoelectric and electrostrictive coefficients of the films were measured. The results indicate that the sol-gel derived ferroelectric thin films have good electromechanical properties and can be used in rnicroactuator applications.
