Abstract

The piezoelectric response of sol-gel thin film lead zirconate titanate (PZT 30/70, PbZr0.3Ti0.7O3) on Pt-Ti/SiO 2/Si to a quasi-dc electric field was investigated. The atomic force microscope (AFM), modified to perform piezo-AFM was used for the purpose. The strain field or butterfly loops for the PZT film were generated by applying a sinusoidal 2 Hz ac waveform between the AFM cantilever and ground.
