The calculation results show that both tetragonal and rhombohedral PZT films have similar orientation dependence as those of their bulk materials. It was observed that in films with a rhombohedral structure, d 33,f values are much more reduced in non-polar directions than in the polar direction [111], as compared with the bulk properties. It was found that substrate clamping can vary these constants and gives numerical results for PZT films with various composition.
