Relaxor ferroelectric Pb0.9La0.1(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 (PLZT) thin films have been epitaxially grown via pulsed laser deposition on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 single crystal with different orientations. The high recoverable energy-storage density and energy-storage efficiency in the epitaxial PLZT thin films are mainly caused by the coexistence of relaxor and antiferroelectric-like behaviors. The recoverable energy-storage density of 12.03, 12.51 and 12.74 J/cm(3) and energy- storage efficiency of 86.50, 88.14 and 88.44%, respectively, for the PLZT(001), PLZT(011) and PLZT(111) thin films measured at 1000 kV/cm. The high energy density and high efficiency indicate that the relaxor epitaxial PLZT(111) thin film is a promising candidate for high pulsed power capacitors. (c) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
