Abstract

The crystallization of pyroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. During the early stage of annealing, a metastable intermetallic phase of Pt₃Pb was observed and eventually disappeared upon further heating. PZT nucleated on top of the intermetallic phase, implying that the intermetallic phase facilitated the (111) orientation in the crystallizing perovskite phase.
