Abstract

Ba(Zr<sub>0.2</sub>Ti<sub>0.8</sub>)O<sub>3</sub>–0.5(Ba<sub>0.7</sub>Ca<sub>0.3</sub>)TiO<sub>3</sub> (BZT–0.5BCT) thin films were prepared from two ceramics targets, Ba(Zr<sub>0.2</sub>Ti<sub>0.8</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> and (Ba<sub>0.7</sub>Ca<sub>0.3</sub>)TiO<sub>3</sub>, using dual-magnetron sputtering, and a LaNiO<sub>3</sub> (LNO) seed layer was introduced between the film and Pt(111)/Ti/SiO<sub>2</sub>/Si substrates <italic>via</italic> a sol–gel technique.
