Abstract

We have investigated polarized Raman spectra of epitaxial Pb(Zr x Ti 1-x )O 3 (PZT) thin films (x = 0.35) in which the volume ratio of the polar c -domains is systematically varied from 4 to 96% relative to the non-polar a -domains, and a new method using polarized Raman spectroscopy to characterize a relative volume of c -domain in a PZT film is proposed. This method depends on discovery that an intensity of A 1 (1TO) is proportional to the relative volume of c -domain. Polarized Raman spectroscopy is necessary to separate the peaks from A 1 (1TO) and B 1 modes to any other modes.
