Numerical results are obtained for Pb (Zrx Ti1-x) O3 (PZT) thin films with tetragonal and rhombohedral compositions. It is illustrated that the optimal orientation for e31,f are close to [001] orientation in both tetragonal and rhombohedral PZT films and the maximum calculated e31,f is about -30 Cm2 on the rhombohedral side of the morphotropic phase boundary. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.}, year = {2005}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {86}, number = {15}, pages = {1-3}, issn = {00036951}, doi = {10.1063/1.1899252}, note = {cited By 18}, language = {eng}, }
