Investigations of film formation of Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ (PZT) on Pt (111) shows that an interfacial intermetallic layer, Pt_xPb, forms as well under oxidizing and reducing atmosphere when the films are subjected to an intermediate annealing step at 550^∘C. The formation of the intermetallic layer controls further crystallization and growth of the perovskite phase and confers to it a pronounced (111) texture at the fairly low annealing temperature of 600^∘C. The crystallization of the morphotropic PZT phase is shown to initiate via incipient formations of a Ti-rich tetragonal phase at the interface with the intermetallic interfacial layer. The results are discussed in terms of thermodynamics and kinetic of phase formation.
