Lead palladium zirconate titanate: A room temperature nanoscale multiferroic thin film
2020
The discovery of single-phase multiferroic materials and the understanding of intriguing physics of the coupling mechanisms between their spin and polarization are important for the next generation of multifunctional devices. In this work, we report dielectric, ferroelectric, and magnetization results of Pd-substituted room-temperature magnetoelectric multiferroic Pb(Zr0.20Ti0.80)0.7Pd0.3O3 (PZTPd) thin films. Highly c axis oriented PZTPd thin films were grown on {(LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7} substrates using the pulsed laser deposition technique. These films were phase pure and stabilized in a tetragonal phase. Atomic force microscopic studies indicated a homogeneous distribution of grains on the films' surface with a surface roughness (RQ) of ∼5.4 nm. A large dielectric constant of ∼1780 and a low loss tangent value of ∼0.52 were observed at 1 kHz measured at room temperature. Temperature dependent dielectric studies on Pt/PZTPd/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 metal–insulator–metal heterostructure capacitors between 80 an...
