Abstract
The interest for ferroelectric materials in different applications, foe example non-volatile memories, sensors and actuators is still growing. The majority of the contemporary ferroelectric materials with perovskite structure contain lead oxide. Due to ecological requirements the development of lead-free ferroelectrics with suitable characteristics is desired. Materials that can meet such requirements are ferroelectric-layered perovskites. Within the scope of this research some Aurivillius - structure - type ferroelectric compounds will be evaluated from the point of view of their crystal structure, electrical and magnetical properties, and possible applications as bulk and thin films. Electrodes for ferroelectric polarization layers are ordinary based on noble metals, for example platinum. However, problems such as fatigue in, for example, the case of ferroelectric films limit the use of noble metals electrodes. Potential electrode materials, which could be used instead of noble metals, are conductive oxide compounds. Electrodes based on ruthenium oxide or ruthenates significantly improve the polarization fatique. Synthesis and characterization (microstructure, crystal structure and electrical properties) of lanthanum ruthenates with low electrical resistivity, their compatibility with ferroelectric materials and characteristics of the layer structures of lanthanum ruthenates and the ferroelectric as the capacitor will be studied.
