This book was released on 1981 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data is presented on BaTiO3 films which were rf sputtered on Pt, quartz and sapphire substrates at various temperatures and gas mixtures. Measurements of density, dielectric constant, electrical conductivity, X-ray diffraction, energy band gap from optical absorption and wavelength, and temperature dependence of refractive index are presented. Measurements were also made on a BaTiO3 single crystal and a hot-pressed ceramic pellet for direct comparison of bulk properties to those of the films. The results of this work demonstrate that a transition of the properties occurs between the amorphous and crystalline states depending on the surface temperature during sputtering. The transition is sluggish up to 700 C above which crystalline properties of the films appear rapidly. (Author).
