Abstract
Free-standing oriented ferroelectric thin films are desired to facilitate mechanical and electrical testing, and TEM analysis. Towards this goal, we present here preliminary results of efforts towards producing oriented lead barium titanate thin films on water soluble substrates. Lead barium titanate ferroelectric thin films were deposited on soluble substrates using a sol-gel deposition process. Films deposited on LiF were highly-oriented, though a minority of other phases was present, possibly due to titanium diffusion into the substrate. Films deposited on NaCl (111) exhibited randomly-oriented phase-pure lead barium titanate, whereas films deposited on NaCl(100) showed some preferred (001/100)-orientation.
