Effect of Molar Concentration on Electrically Resistive Lead Titanate Thin Films by Simple Sol-Gel Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lead titanate thin films were successfully prepared using a simple sol-gel method. In the present study extra Pb excess was not taken into consideration in such a way that the ratio of Pb:Ti is 1:1. Different molar concentration (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) involved in this study and it was found that the solutions increased in acidic level by the increment of molar concentration that being measured by pH and conductivity meter (JENWAY-3540). It also indicated that the solutions were electrically resistive at low concentration which might due to the existence of lead and oxygen ionic bonding. The solutions were then deposited onto cleaned glass substrate by spin coating technique indeed to have better thin film homogeneity at room temperature. The prepared thin films were characterized on electrical property considering the resistivity measured by solar simulator (BUKOH KEIKI EP-2000). After that structural and physical property of thin films were observed by atomic force microscopy (Park System, XE-100).
