Abstract

The magnitude of pyroelectricity in highly stressed quasi-amorphous thin films was analyzed. The amorphous BaTiO3 layers were deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron oxygen plasma sputtering. The stress in the BaTiO3 films was measured by the substrate curvature method. It was found that the films that passed through the temperature gradient showed large pyroelectric effect over the temperature range of 20-150 °C.
