Abstract

Thin films of BaxSr1−xTiO3 (x = 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0) were prepared by metalorganic decomposition (MOD). The relative permittivity, dissipation, polarization, resistivity, and grain size of these films were studied as a function of composition and temperature. Ferroelectric hysteresis loops were observed for all values of x and were found to be independent of measurement temperature though strongly dependent upon grain size.
