研究目的
Investigating the physical properties of lithium-niobate thin films deposited using spray pyrolysis method.
研究成果
LiNbO3 nanostructures were successfully prepared using the spray pyrolysis method, showing good quality and improvement in morphology with increasing annealing temperatures up to 500°C. The structural properties indicated polycrystalline nature with moderate diffraction peak at (012) diffraction plane. AFM results presented high smoothness and distribution with low roughness. The grain size of the prepared crystal decreased with increment of annealing temperatures.
研究不足
The study is limited to the physical properties of lithium-niobate thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis method. The effects of other deposition methods or materials were not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The spray pyrolysis deposition method was chosen to prepare the Nano samples of lithium-niobate from raw materials of Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and niobium oxide (Nb2O5). The deposition process was performed on a quartz substrate with a range of annealing temperatures to maintain physical changes in the prepared samples properties.
