采用脉冲激光沉积法在Pt／Ti／SiO2／Si衬底上制备了BaTiO3／SrTiO3(BTO／STO)多层膜。XRD结果表明：多层膜呈现出明显的(110)择优取向,与Ba0.5Sr0．5TiO3单层膜相比,多层膜的相对介电常数得到了明显的增强,而介电损耗仍然保持在较低的水平。室温下频率为10kHz时,BTO／STO(n=6)多层膜的相对介电常数为506,而介电损耗仅为0．033。薄膜的C-V特性研究表明：多层膜呈现出较好的电容调谐度。     

Synthesis of sequentially-deposited Cu/BaF2/Y films on SrTiO3 and buffered Si substrates

Sequentially-deposited layers of Cu/BaF₂/Y on buffered Si and SrTiO₃ substrates have been synthesised to produce YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ thin film. An attempt has been made to see the effect of the ZrO₂ and Al buffer layers on Si of the annealing of the layered structure. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that on ZrO₂-buffered Si the annealing of the layered structure leads to formation of 211 phase while on Al-buffer layer 123 phase is obtained. Noticeable effect in annealed-layered structure of oblique deposition of BaF₂ from a Knudson Cell is seen in X-ray diffraction.     

Fabrication and characterization of epitaxial SrTiO3/Nb-doped SrTiO3 superlattices by double ECR ion beam sputter deposition

Epitaxial oxide superlattices (SLs) of SrTiO₃ (STO) and Nb-doped SrTiO₃(STNO) were fabricated on LaAlO₃ (LAO) (001) substrates by an ion beam sputter deposition (IBSD) system having double electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion guns. The [STO_x/STNO_y]₁₀ SLs were epitaxially grown at different stacking sequences (x = 6 nm, y = 1–6 nm) and maintained the periodicity z of 10. Structural properties and surface morphology are found to be strongly dependent on the STNO sublayer thickness (y). Highly strained SLs with two-dimensional growth mode is observed at smaller STNO sublayer thickness (y = 1 nm). With increasing to a critical thickness (y = 4 nm), the SLs are freely strained and transformed to three-dimensional growth mode. The results demonstrate that the double ECR-IBSD is a versatile technique for the growth of high-quality oxide SLs.     

多巴胺改性BaTiO_3对BaTiO_3/PVDF复合材料击穿场强的影响

为了提高BaTiO3/PVDF复合材料的击穿场强。首先,利用多巴胺对BaTiO3进行表面功能化处理,得到多巴胺改性的BaTiO3(Dopa@BaTiO3);然后,将其与聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)混合,采用液相浇铸法制得Dopa@BaTiO3/PVDF复合材料;最后,测量了不同Dopa@BaTiO3添加量的Dopa@BaTiO3/PVDF复合材料的击穿场强和介电性能。结果表明:与改性前的BaTiO3/PVDF复合材料相比,Dopa@BaTiO3/PVDF复合材料在击穿场强显著提高的同时,介电常数基本保持不变;当Dopa@BaTiO3添加量为3vol%时,击穿场强为210kV/mm,比改性前的复合材料的提高了78%;当Dopa@BaTiO3添加量为10vol%时,击穿场强为180kV/mm,比改性前的合材料的提高了88%。研究解决了BaTiO3/PVDF复合材料击穿场强较低的问题,可为同时提高复合材料的介电常数和击穿场强提供参考。

BaTiO3 thin film prepared by coating-pyrolysis process on Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate

Epitaxial BaTiO3 thin film was prepared on Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate by coating-pyrolysis process using a mixed solution of barium and titanium naphthenates. The amorphous film pyrolyzed at 470 °C was crystallized with high orientation after heat-treatment at 850 °C under low oxygen partial pressure. X-ray diffraction /2 and scans indicated that the BaTiO3 film was epitaxial relationship with Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate. The dielectric constant was approximately 230 at 103 Hz and was monotonically decreased with increasing of frequency at room temperature.     

Design of low cost gas sensor based on SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 films

We have prepared SrTiO3/BaTiO3 multilayer film on alumina substrates by a sol-gel technique and investigated their response for sensing ethanol vapor. The surface morphology of the films were characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM) showing that the grain size of the films increase up to 40 nm as the annealing temperature increased to 1000 degrees C. The ethanol sensors based on SrTiO3/BaTiO3 thin films were fabricated by applying interdigitated gold electrodes by sputtering technique. The ethanol sensing characteristics of SrTiO3/BaTiO3 thin films were quantified by the change in resistance of the sensors when they were exposed to ethanol. The optimum operating tempearature of these sensors was found to be 350 degrees C. In addition, the film annealed at 1000 degrees C exhibited p-type gas sensing behavior with the best sensitivity of 30-100 for low ethanol concentration in the range of 100-1000 ppm.     

The effects of substrates on the thin-film structures of BaTiO3

Barium titanate (BaTiO₃) thin films prepared on magnesia, silicon and strontium titanate substrates by r.f. sputtering has been investigated. As a function of substrate and annealing temperatures, the crystal structure and shape were examined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Thin films were grown on both MgO and silicon substrates; they were amorphous when deposited on MgO if the substrate temperature was less than 450 °C, while for those grown on silicon the temperature had to be less than 500 °C. Above these elevated temperatures, the films were crystalline, with cubic symmetry. After annealing the thin films on magnesia, the crystal structure changed from cubic to tetragonal phase above 1100 °C; thebe c-axis or annealing thus caused the grain growth of the BaTiO₃. The thin films on SrTiO₃ were found toc-axis oriented tetragonal films for a substrate temperature above 500 °C.     

Effects of particle size of BaTiO3 powder on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3/polyvinylidene fluoride composites

The effects of particle size of fine BaTiO₃powder on dielectric properties of BaTiO₃/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites were investigated. When the frequency of the applied field was less than 100 kHz, the dielectric constant and loss for BaTiO₃/PVDF composites decreased with increasing BaTiO₃particle size. When the frequency was greater than 100 kHz, the opposite results were obtained. The resistivity increased with increasing BaTiO₃particle size, whereas the open areas of hysteresis loops decreased gradually. The degree of poling efficiency for BaTiO₃/PVDF composites increased with increasing BaTiO₃particle size. The BaTiO₃particle size dependence of the dielectric properties of BaTiO₃/PVDF composites is explained by space charge effects at the interface between BaTiO₃and PVDF, and domain configurations (single or multi-domain) of the BaTiO₃powders.     

Hydrothermal deposition and characterization of heteroepitaxial BaTiO3 films on SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 single crystals

Heteroepitaxial BaTiO₃ thin films were deposited in an aqueous solution under hydrothermal conditions on single crystal substrates of (100) SrTiO₃ and (012) LaAlO₃. The reactants consisted of fine TiO₂ particles in a strongly alkaline solution of Ba(OH)₂ at a temperature of 150°C. The growth of the films was studied by atomic force microscopy, high resolution scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The formation of the films occurred by nucleation of {001} faceted islands followed by three-dimensional growth of the islands to cover the substrate. Repeated hydrothermal treatment improved the film thickness and the surface coverage of the substrate at the expense of increased surface roughness. X-ray diffraction coupled with pole figure analysis showed that the films had the same in-plane and out-of-plane orientation as the substrate.

Enhanced Acousto-Optic Diffraction Efficiency in a Symmetric SrTiO(3)/BaTiO(3)/SrTiO(3) Thin-Film Heterostructure

Guided-wave acousto-optic Bragg diffraction and surface acoustic-wave propagation in epitaxially matched SrTiO(3)/BaTiO(3)(001)/SrTiO(3) thin-film heterostructures have been theoretically studied. The optimum electromechanical coupling and Bragg diffraction efficiency have been determined at several acoustic frequencies by means of varying the thickness of the SrTiO(3) overlayer and the BaTiO(3) waveguiding layer. A strain-controlling nonpiezoelectric SrTiO(3) overlayer upon the BaTiO(3)/SrTiO(3) structure is found to enhance the coupling coefficient (k(2)) and the diffraction efficiency significantly. A comparison of asymmetric and symmetric structures shows an increase in the diffraction efficiency from 10.5% to 43.0% and a decrease in the untuned-transducer conversion efficiency from 36 to 23 dB at an operating frequency of 1 GHz with an interaction length of 1 mm and an acoustic power of 1 mW.     

Liquid-phase model for thermally stimulated autosegregation on BaTiO3, SrTiO3, and PbTiO3 surfaces

We consider the possible models for thermally stimulated surface autosegregation (TSAS) and evaluate their credibility using new experimental data. Particular attention is paid to a liquid-phase model, which accounts for both the reversible and irreversible stages of TSAS and is capable of predicting the segregating species and the degree and temperature range of segregation. In the crystal-chemical approach, the basic mechanism of TSAS in this model is diffusion of the segregating species.     

Polaronic Trions at the MoS2/SrTiO3 Interface

The reduced electrical screening in 2D materials provides an ideal platform for realization of exotic quasiparticles, that are robust and whose functionalities can be exploited for future electronic, optoelectronic, and valleytronic applications. Recent examples include an interlayer exciton, where an electron from one layer binds with a hole from another, and a Holstein polaron, formed by an electron dressed by a sea of phonons. Here, a new quasiparticle is reported, “polaronic trion” in a heterostructure of MoS₂/SrTiO₃ (STO). This emerges as the Fröhlich bound state of the trion in the atomically thin monolayer of MoS₂ and the very unique low energy soft phonon mode (≤7 meV, which is temperature and field tunable) in the quantum paraelectric substrate STO, arising below its structural antiferrodistortive (AFD) phase transition temperature. This dressing of the trion with soft phonons manifests in an anomalous temperature dependence of photoluminescence emission leading to a huge enhancement of the trion binding energy (≈70 meV). The soft phonons in STO are sensitive to electric field, which enables field control of the interfacial trion–phonon coupling and resultant polaronic trion binding energy. Polaronic trions could provide a platform to realize quasiparticle‐based tunable optoelectronic applications driven by many body effects.     

Effect of the dispersibility of BaTiO3 nanoparticles in BaTiO3/polyimide composites on the dielectric properties

We have investigated the effect of coupling agents with different organic moiety on the dielectric properties of polyimide/BaTiO₃ (70 nm) composite films. INAAT (isopropyl tris(N-amino-ethyl aminoethyl)titanate, KR 44) and APTS (3-amino-propyl-triethoxysilane) were used as coupling agents, respectively, for homogeneous dispersion of BaTiO₃ particles into a polyimide matrix. The composite films were prepared by pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA)-based polyimide. Enhanced dispersion of BaTiO₃ particles was obtained by the use of INAAT with more organic moiety compared to that afforded by APTS. The polyimide composite with BaTiO₃ particles (BaTiO₃ content at 50 vol.%) treated by INAAT showed an increased dielectric constant of 19.03 while retaining an appropriate dielectric loss of 0.0109, as compared to the dielectric constant (14.64) of polyimide/APTS-treated BaTiO₃ composite. The results of this work demonstrate the potential use of an INAAT coupling agent with more organo functional groups for obtaining enhanced dielectric properties in a polyimide/BaTiO₃ composite for application in an embedded capacitor.
