Abstract: | Barium strontium titanate (Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3) nanostructured thin films have been deposited on platinized silicon substrates by the sol-gel method. The as-fired films were found to be amorphous, which crystallize to cubic phase after annealing at 550°C in air for one hour. The low-frequency dielectric responses of the BST films were measured as functions of frequency range from 1 kHz to 1MHz. The thickness dependence dielectric constant of the BST thin films were measured in the temperature range from ?150°C to 150°C at 100 kHz and discussed in the light of an interfacial dead layer. All the samples showed a diffuse type phase transitions. Both the dielectric constant and loss tangent showed anomaly peaks at about 10°C, which corresponds to a tetragonal ferroelectric-to-cubic paraelectric phase transition. |
