Microstructure and electrical properties of [(120).sub0]-oriented and of [(001).sub,0]-oriented epitaxial antiferroelectric PbZr[O.sub.3] thin films on (100) SrTi[O.sub.3] substrates covered with different oxide bottom electrode

The growth, microstructure and electrical properties of epitaxial PbZr[O.sub.3] films of two different crystallographic orientations, grown on SrRu[O.sub.3]-covered (100)SrTi[O.sub.3] and on BaPb[O.sub.3]-covered and BaZr[O.sub.3]-buffered (100)SrTi[O.sub.3] single crystal substrates, respectively, are described. The studies have shown the antiferromagnetic behavior of the PZO films of both orientations.
