The investigation of lead titanate electrical characteristics
My master's thesis was focused on investigating the electrical characteristics of lead titanate thin films, deposited by reactive magnetron layer-by-layer sputtering. The measurements of films’ morphology were done by using secondary electron and
optical microscopes and structural investigation using X-ray diffraction. My task
was to measure the hystereses of thin films at different amplitudes and
frequencies of the external electric field and prove the eligibility of usage
of such films for a ferromagnetic storage device.
