Abstract

Multilayer duplex PZT films consisting of alternating porous and dense layers have been formed by a sol-gel repeated coating method with a heating rate of 100°C min-1. Structure and porosity of the films are examined by XRD, TEM and FT-IR. The porosity of the multilayer films fired at 600°C is increased by heat treatment at 750°C. The volume fraction of the pyrochlore phase decreases with increasing coating time. The relative dielectric constant of multilayer films with thickness 12 μm ranges from 1100 (10 000 Hz) to 1400 (100 Hz). The piezoelectric voltage coefficient g33 of the multilayer films is calculated to be enhanced by the introduction of layers with a high porosity.
