Alpay, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp. 823-835 Note générale : Métallurgie Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ferroelectricity  Thin  films  Phase  transformations  Electroceramics  Dielectrics Index. décimale : 669 Métallurgie Résumé : The phase stability of ultra-thin (0 0 1) oriented ferroelectric PbZr1–xTixO3 (PZT) epitaxial thin films as a function of the film composition, film thickness, and the misfit strain is analyzed using a non-linear Landau–Ginzburg–Devonshire thermodynamic model taking into account the electrical and mechanical boundary conditions. The theoretical formalism incorporates the role of the depolarization field as well as the possibility of the relaxation of in-plane strains via the formation of microstructural features such as misfit dislocations at the growth temperature and ferroelastic polydomain patterns below the paraelectric–ferroelectric phase transformation temperature. Film thickness–misfit strain phase diagrams are developed for PZT films with four different compositions (x = 1, 0.9, 0.8 and 0.7) as a function of the film thickness. The results show that the so-called rotational r-phase appears in a very narrow range of misfit strain and thickness of the film. Furthermore, the in-plane and out-of-plane dielectric permittivities ε11 and ε33, as well as the out-of-plane piezoelectric coefficients d33 for the PZT thin films, are computed as a function of misfit strain, taking into account substrate-induced clamping. The model reveals that previously predicted ultrahigh piezoelectric coefficients due to misfit-strain-induced phase transitions are practically achievable only in an extremely narrow range of film thickness, composition and misfit strain parameter space. We also show that the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of epitaxial ferroelectric films can be tailored through strain engineering and microstructural optimization.
