Numerical results are obtained and discussed for Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 thin films grow on Si substrates with various compositions and structures. © 2005 Materials Research Society.}, year = {2005}, journal = {Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings}, volume = {881}, pages = {125-130}, issn = {02729172}, isbn = {1558998357; 9781558998353}, note = {cited By 0}, language = {eng}, }
