Description

Ba(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (BZT) (x = 0.20 and 0.30) thin films are deposited on Pt(1 1 1)/Ti/SiO2/Si(1 0 0) substrate by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the thin films have a good crystallinity. Optical properties of the films in the wavelength range of 2.5-12 μm are studied by infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry (IRSE). The optical constants of the BZT thin films are determined by fitting the IRSE data using a classical dispersion formula. As the wavelength increases, the refractive index decreases, while the extinction coefficients increase. The effective static ionic charges are derived, which are smaller than that in a purely ionic material for the BZT thin films
