Abstract
Epitaxial Pb(Mg1/3, Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) thin films were fabricated on various buffered-Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and the growth behaviors and dielectric characteristics were investigated. For La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO)/CeO2/YSZ/Si and SrTiO3/CeO2/YSZ/Si substrates, PMN films were epitaxially grown with (001) and preferred-(001) orientation, respectively. On the other hand, for CeO2/YSZ/Si substrate, Pb-Mg-Nb pyrochlore was epitaxially grown instead of perovskite phase. This phenomenon was considered from the viewpoints of crystal structural matching and interface stability between film and substrate.
