Resumen:
The effects produced by the incorporation of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) on the electrical and optical properties of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) thin films were investigated. Spherical nanoparticles with average size of 4nm were synthesized from the chemical reduction of AgNO3 in ethanol, using PVP as stabilizer. A chemical solution deposition method was used for the synthesis of the films, using acetoin as a chelating agent. Four different NPs configurations were prepared, according to the scheme. In all cases, uniform and dense films with single-phase perovskite structure were successfully fabricated on Pt substrates. The XRD analysis showed that the incorporation of Ag-NPs in samples 3 and 4 produce an increase of the (001) crystal orientation. We showed that the dielectric properties of the films were not significantly affected by the inclusion of Ag-NPs. All films displayed well-saturated hysteresis loops at 50 Hz. An increase of the ferroelectric response (remnant polarization) was observed in samples 3 and 4, where the Ag- NPs were dispersed in the volume of the film. The analysis of the optical properties obtained by reflectance measurements revealed a band gap Eg3.8 eV, and an increase of the extinction coefficient (for wavelengths larger than λ350nm) with the increase of Ag-NPs concentration.
