| Abstract: | Abstract We have studied ferroelectric thin films deposited by sol-gel processing onto non-noble metal substrates. The results obtained indicate that by careful control of processing conditions, ferroelectric materials can be deposited onto these substrates, although interdiffusion between the metal and the ferroelectric can significantly degrade the ferroelectric properties of the materials. The effects of this interdiffusion are demonstrated and possible implications of ferroelectric-electrode interactions for fatigue in ferroelectric materials are discussed. |
