摘要:
Thin film ferroelectrics with polarization gradients normal to the growth surface readily form when gradients in temperature, strain, or composition are coupled to the polarization vector in ferroelectric materials. This letter describes the formation of thin films of potassium tantalum niobate with graded polarizations obtained by grading the tantalum to niobium ratio of the ferroelectric phase. Unlike a simple structure consisting of laminated layers of ferroelectric material, the polarization gradient which forms breaks the natural symmetry of the ferroelectric material at any given plane, resulting in a self‐poling of the structure subsequent to excitation by an oscillatory electric field. Once poled, the devices reveal a measurable potential across the structure which varies with temperature. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
