ABSTRACTThe (100), (111) and randomly oriented PZT thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/Coming 7059 glass using sol-gel method. The thin films having different orientation were fabricated by different drying conditions for pyrolysis. The preferred orientations of the PZT thin films were observed using XRD, rocking curves, and pole figures. The microstructures were investigated using SEM. The hysteresis loops and capacitance-voltage characteristics of the films were investigated using a standardized ferroelectric test system. The dielectric constant and current-voltage characteristics of the films were investigated using an impedance analyzer and pA meter, respectively. The films oriented in a particular direction showed superior electrical characteristics to the randomly oriented films.

Coercivity Mechanism

A simplified micromagnetic model has been proposed to calculate the hysteresis loops of nanostructured permanent magnets for various configurations, including thin films, exchange-coupled double-layer systems and bulk materials. The reversal part of the hysteresis is based on the Stoner–Wohlfarth coherent rotational model and the coercivity mechanism is due mainly to the motion of the transition region (a domain wall like magnetic moment distribution in the grain boundary). The elements of nucleation and pinning models are also incorporated.

ABSTRACTExplosive Crystallization occurs in cw laser annealing on a-Si films deposited on glass substrates at laser scan speeds higher than 30 cm/sec. Optical, structural and electrical properties of the crystallized films at various laser scan speeds confirm the existence of two kinds of explosive growth depending on the state of crystallinity of the starting material.
