Lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT, 6/65/35) powders, crack-free and dense thin films have been prepared by polymeric sol-gel process. Pyrolysis of the gel, crystallization and optical transmittance behavior of the PLZT thin film onto sapphire substrate have been studied. Esterification occurs during synthesis of PLZT complexation. Crystalline Pb phase was transiently formed near 450$^{\circ}C$. Content of perovskite phase in the films were increased with increasing thickness of film, but the kinetics of formation of perovskite phase in films was slower than that of powders. Transmittance of the films was decreased with increasing the temperature of heat treatment. Ferroelectric hysteresis loop measurements indicated increments of remanent polarization and coercive field for plenty more of perovskite phase.

Organic-inorganic halide perovskite single crystals undergo phase transition of being cubic, tetragonal, or orthorhombic depending on the temperature. We investigated the $CH_3NH_3PbBr_{3-x}I_x$ single crystals grown by the inverse temperature crystallization method with temperature-dependent UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence. From the temperature-dependent absorption measurement, the optical band gap is extracted by derivation of absorption spectrum fitting and Tauc plot. In our results, $CH_3NH_3PbBr_{3-x}I_x$ single crystals show that an abrupt change in optical band gap, PL peak position and intensity appears around 120 K - 170 K regions, indicating the phase transition temperature.

Variations of reaction sequence of $Pb(Zn_{0.6}Mg_{0.4})_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3$[PZMN] with precusor mixing methods were ex-amined using X-ray diffraction and dielectric characteristics. In the present study three different types of precursor mixing methods (oxide mixing PbO+$ZnNb_2O_6+MgNb_2O_6$[Zn+MN] and PbO+(Zn,Mg)$Nb_2O_6$[ZMN] precursor mixing) were adopted. When the oxide mixing method was used for the PZMN synthesis a Zn-rich perovskite phase and pyrochlore phase were formed. Compared with PbO+ZN+MN precursor mixing method the PbO-ZMN precursor led to a lowering of the formation temperature for perovskite sin-gle phase. These variation of composition and formation temperature of the perovskite phase were dis-cussed in terms of the difference in the solid-reaction requence between these three different types of pre-cursor mixing.

Tin perovskite solar cells have attracted a lot of attention due to their potential to address the toxicity of lead, which is the biggest barrier to commercialization of perovskite solar cells. Unlike other lead-free perovskite, tin perovskite have a direct bandgap, which is suitable for use as light harvesting, and relatively good stability, which has led to a lot of attention. Since the first tin perovskite solar cell was reported in 2014, it has achieved an impressive power conversion efficiency of 14.81%. However, this efficiency is still low compared to that of lead perovskite solar cells, and the stability of tin perovskite solar cells is also an issue that needs to be addressed. In this review, we will discuss the basic properties of the tin atom in comparison to the lead atom, and then discuss the crystal structure, phase transition, and basic properties of tin perovskite. We will then discuss the advantages, applications, challenges, and strategies of tin perovskite, In particular, we will focus on how to prevent the oxidation of tin, which is arguably the biggest challenge for using tin perovskite solar cells. At the end, we summarize the key factors that need to be addressed for higher efficiency and stability, emphasizing what is needed to commercialize tin perovskite solar cells.

페로부스카이트(Perovskite) 구조의 Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃(PZT)는 우수한 강유전 특성으로 인해 유전체, 압전체, 초전체 재료로 널리 사용된다. Pb_1.3(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃조성의 스퍼터링 타겟을 제조하여 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정으로 PZT박막을 형성하였다. PZT박막은 동일 스퍼터링 출력으로 연속 제조한 단층형 PZT와 2단계화한 스퍼터링 출력으로 제조한 2층형 PZT박막으로 구분하여 제조하였다. 2층형의 PZT는 저출력의 스퍼터링 조건으로 제작한 하부층과, 단층형 PZT와 동일한 조건으로 제작한 상부층으로 이루어진다. 제조한 박막에 대한 엑스선 회절분석결과, 단층형 PZT에서는 페로부스카이트상(Perovskite Phase)과 미소한 파이로클로르상(Pyrochlore Phase)이 혼합된 상태로 존재하나, 2층형 PZT에서는 페로부스카이트상만이 검출되었다. 전자현미경과 원자힘 현미경으로 표면상태를 관찰한 결과, 2층형 PZT박막의 상부는 단층형에 비해 치밀하고 평활한 표면상태를 나타냈으며, 단층형에 비해 낮은 표면거칠기값(RMS)을 보였다. 또한 이층형 PZT는 단층형에 비해 우수한 대칭성의 분극곡선형태를 보였고, 단층형에 비해 매우 저감된 1×10^-5 A/㎠ 이하수준의 누설전류 특성을 나타냈다. 이층형 PZT에서 보이는 이러한 현상은 치밀하게 형성한 하부 PZT층이 순차적으로 형성되는 상부PZT내의 미소 파이로클로르상 형성을 억제하여, 순수한 페로부스카이트상으로의 성장을 유도한 것으로 판단된다.

A homogeneous and stoichimetric fine powder of the ferroelectric $Pb_[0.97}La_{0.02}(Zr_{0.64}Sn_{0.25}Ti_{0.11})O_3$ (PLZST) has been prepared by the hydroxide coprecipitation method. Studies on the crystallization behavior of precursor as a function of temperature by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy technique were consistent with the formation of the pyrochlore phase from amorphous, initially at low temperatures around 500~$550^{\circ}C$. Further heat treatment up to $750^{\circ}C$ resulted in development of the perovskite phase with no significant pyrochlore crystallite growth. At intermediate temperatures the precursor yields a fine mixture of pyrochlore and perovskite phases. When the pyrochlore phase was heat teated in air, slight weight increase was observed in the temperature range of 300~$700^{\circ}C$, which is thought to be caused from oxygen absorption. In argon atmosphere, weight increase was not observed. On the other hand, weight loss began to occur near $700^{\circ}C$, with giving off mostly CO2 gas. This implies that the pyrochlore phase seems to be crystallorgraphycally and thermodynamically metastable. An apparent activation energy of 53.9 ㎉/mol was estimated for the pyrochlore-perovskite phase transformation.

PbxZr0.4Ti0.6O3 thin films were prepared by reactive co-sputtering and annealed by RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) process. Effect of Pb content in PbxZr0.4Ti0.6O3 films on the phase transformation was intensively studied. It has been found out that depending on the Pb content as well as RTA temperature, crystal structure of PbxZr0.4Ti0.6O3 films change greatly. It turned out that transformation temperature for perovskite can be lowered and the width of transition temperature region was reduced by increasing Pb content in the film. And the lattice was expanded with increasing Pb content. With increasing RTA temperature, as-deposited phase was transformed into perovskite through three different transformation paths depending on Pb content. It was confirmed that activation energies for nucleation of perovskite structure are much larger than those of its growth.

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films were fabricated by the pulsed laser ablation deposition (PLAD) method onto Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates. Crystalline phases as well as preferred orientations in PZT films were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The well-crystallized perovskite phase and the (101) preferred orientation were obtained by two-step annealing at the conditions of $650^{\circ}C$, 1 hour. It was found that the temperature for the pulsed laser ablated PZT films annealed via a two-step annealing process can be reduced 20$0^{\circ}C$ compared to that of the conventional three-step annealing temperature profile for enhancing the transformation of the perovskite phase. The remanent polarization and the coercive field of this film were about 20 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 46 kV/cm, while the dielectric constant and loss values measured at 1 KHz were approximately 860 and 0.04, respectively. The interesting phenomena of this film, such as vertical shift in hysteresis curve, are also discussed.

The formation temperature for the perovskite lead zirconate titanate [Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, PZT] derived from sol-gel route was lowered by more than $100^{\circ}C$ with the addition of crystallographically suitable seed particles, such as barium titanat e (BT) or PZT. We investigated the effect of seeding on the crystallization of perovskite phase and in the microstructure of the sol-gel derived PZT powder by varying the concentration, size and chemical species of seed particles. The phase transition as a function of temperature was monitored by DTA, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy, and the interface between the seed particle and grown PZT layer was analyzed by SEM and high resolution TEM techniques. It was found that both the heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation contributes competitively in the formation of perovskite PZT grains.
