摘要: Potassium tantalate niobate [K(Ta1−xNbx)O3 or KTN] films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (100)MgO substrates from targets of KTN with x=0.45. The effects substrate temperature (300–700°C) and ambient oxygen pressure (50 300 mTorr) the characteristics investigated. At 500°C mTorr, amorphous a few isolated, randomly-oriented crystalline grains perovskite pyrochlore. 600°C comprised columnar microstructure consisting mixture phase (100) perovskite. 650°C, almost entirely 700°C, predominantly perovskite, but contained much higher fraction 50 pyrochlore was found in significant fractions up to 650°C. Rutherford Backscaftering analysis chemical composition showed that all potassium-deficient tantalum niobium ratio exceeded for conditions. There appeared be relationship between during amount potassium retained films.
