Far infrared and Raman response in tetragonal PZT ceramic films

摘要

Pba(0.38)Ti(0.62)O(3) and PbZr0.36Ti0.64O3 thick films deposited by screen printing on (0 0 0 1) single crystal sapphire substrates and prepared at two different sintering temperatures, were studied by Fourier-transform infrared reflectivity, time-domain THz transmission spectroscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The dielectric response is discussed using the Lichtenecker model to account for the porosity of the films and to obtain the dense bulk dielectric functions. Results are compared with bulk tetragonal PZT 42/58 ceramics. The dynamic response in the films is dominated by an overdamped lead-based vibration in the THz range, as known in PZT, but its evaluated dielectric contribution is affected by the porosity and roughness of the surface.
