Abstract

Preliminary thin films of barium zirconate-titanate (BZT) are grown by pulsed laser deposition from bulk ceramic targets on magnesium oxide (001) substrates. Growth conditions are optimized for film crystallinity and thick (100 nm) films are deposited. These films are seen to be growing with a cube-on-cube epitaxial relation. The lattice constant of the alloy follows Vegard’s law as expected but shows a reasonable amount of non-linearity in the relation between band gap and composition.
