In the presented thesis, lead-free Ba(Ti0.8Zr0.2)O3-(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BZT-BCT) thin films were deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using chemical solution deposition method and then the effect of process parameters were investigated to obtain optimum parameters of these lead-free thin films. The phase was selected near to the morphotropic phase boundary (MPH) to increase the number of polarization directions where rhombohedral and tetragonal phases exist together. In this study, the effect of sintering temperatures on microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties were studied systematically. Among the various high-quality BZT-BCT thin films with uniform thickness, the optimum dielectric and ferroelectric responses were observed for films annealed at 800 oC for 1 h sintering time. The thickness was kept constant for all measurements as 500 nm (triple layered films). Therefore, the average grain sizes were found around 60 nm for samples sintered at 700,750 and 800 oC. BZT-BCT thin films sintered at 800 oC showed effective remnant polarization and coercive field values of 2.9 µC/cm2 and 49.4 kV/cm, together with a high dielectric constant and low loss tangent of 365.6 and 3.52 %, respectively, at a frequency of 600 kHz due to pure perovskite phase showing full crystallization and minimum surface porosity obtained at this temperature.

Synthesis of CNT-titania-silica nanocomposite thin films: the effect of heat treatment on photocatalytic activity
Kırbaş, Tuğçe; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2014)
In this study, CNT-TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by sol-gel process and the thin films over glass substrates were fabricated by dip coating method. The effects of CNT addition, heat treatment temperature and atmospheres on the structure and photocatalytic properties were examined. The thin films were prepared with and without carbon nanotubes and the heat treatment was carried out at different temperatures in the range of 300-600oC under air and nitrogen atmosphere.

Isik, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2020-09-01)
Ga2Se3 thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique and structural, optical characteristics of the deposited thin films were investigated in the present study. X-ray diffraction pattern of the thin film exhibited one intensive and sharp peak associated with (111) plane of cubic crystalline structure of the compound. Energy dispersive spectroscopic analyses pointed out the atomic compositional ratio of the constituent elements as consistent with chemical formula of Ga2Se3. The optical characteri...

In this study, ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 powders and thin films were prepared from metal chlorides using sol-gel processing method. For powders; homogeneous precipitation from aqueous solution and for films; dip coating just before precipitation was applied in the presence of urea, [(NH2)2CO]. Characterization of the films and powders were carried out primarily by XRD and SEM/EDX. Both the films and powders were stoichiometric and completely crystallized into perovskite phase after annealing for 5 hours at ...

Adem, Umut; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003)
In this study, barium strontium titanate (BST) thin films with different compositions (Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3, Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3, Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3, Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3) were produced by chemical solution deposition technique. BST solutions were prepared by dissolving barium acetate, strontium acetate and titanium isopropoxide in acetic acid and adding ethylene glycol as a chelating agent and stabilizer to this solution, at molar ratio of acetic acid/ethylene glycol, 3:1. The solution was then coated on Si and Pt//Ti/SiO2/Si ...
