Abstract
We have investigated structural and electrical properties of $PbZr_{0.3}Ti_{0.7}O_{3}$ (PZT) thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition methods. PZT thin films have been deposited on $LaMnO_3$ (LMO) bottom electrodes with $LaAlO_3$ (LAO) substrates during different deposition times. High-resolution x-ray diffraction data have shown that all the PZT films and bottom electrodes are highly oriented. The thickness of each film is determined by field-emission scanning electron microscope. We have also observed root mean square roughness by using atomic force microscopy mode, and local polarization distribution and retention behavior of a ferroelectric domain by using piezoelectric force microscopy mode. A PZT/LMO structure has shown good ferroelectric and retention properties as the media for nano-storage devices.
