摘要
La (2.5%) and Ni (2.5%) codoped BiFeO3 (BLFNO) thin films were formed by chemical solution deposition on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) structures. BiFeO3 (BFO), La(5%)-doped BFO, and Ni(5%)-doped BFO films were studied for comparison. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystal structure of all films was single perovskite phase, however, structural modifications were observed in La-doped films. The leakage current density at 500 kV/cm was reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude by codoping La and Ni atoms, compared with BFO films. In BLFNO films, well saturated remanent polarization of 70 mu C/cm(2) was obtained at room temperature at 10 kHz with the reduced coercive field by approximately 30%.
