Abstract
We prepared highly-aligned, biaxially textured Ba xPb 1-xTiO 3 (PBT) on amorphous Si 3N 4 by using ion beam-assisted deposited (IBAD) MgO as a template layer. PBT was deposited on biaxially textured MgO using solgel synthesis, metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The biaxial texture of the PBT was inherited from the MgO template. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and cross section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments suggest that exposure of the MgO template to atmospheric moisture before PBT heteroepitaxy resulted in a significant narrowing of the PBT in-plane orientation distribution. The microstructures of the biaxially textured PBT films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), RHEED, and TEM. Dynamic contact mode electrostatic force microscopy polarization hysteresis loops confirmed that these films are ferroelectric.
