Abstract
BaTiO3 thick films on Pt substrates were fabricated by the electrophoretic deposition method. The suspension was prepared with fine powder (0.1 µm in diameter) of BaTiO3, acetone and iodine. Dense and strong films were formed in an applied DC field of 500 V/cm. The films sintered at 1200°C were crystallized into the tetragonal phase at room temperature. The coercive field Ec and the remanent polarization Pr were estimated to be 1.6 kV/cm and 2.1 µC/cm2, respectively, from the P-E hysteresis loop observation.
