Abstract
Dielectric relaxation has been observed for a wide variety of materials. Especially for dielectric thin films a typical Curie -von Schweidler relaxation has been observed by rnany groups in the literature. Although some possible reasons for these relaxation phenomena have been discussed, a cornprehensive understanding of the physical origins involved could not be obtained by now. The purpose of this contribution is to present a wide range of experimental results collected on Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films. Results are cornpared to investigations on (Ba,Sr)TiO3 and SrTiO3 films.
