摘要
Ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9/SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBT/SBN) multilayer thin films with various stacking periodicity were deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition technique. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the perovskite phase was fully formed with polycrystalline structure in all the films. The Raman spectra showed the frequency of the O-Ta-O stretching mode for multilayer and single layer SrBi2(Ta0.5Nb0.5)(2)O-9 (SBNT) samples was similar to 827-829 cm(-1), which was in between the stretching mode frequency in SBT (similar to 813 cm(-1)) and SBN (similar to 834 cm(-1)) thin films. The dielectric constant was increased from 300 (SBT) to similar to 373 at 100 kHz in the double layer SBT/SBN sample with thickness of each layer being similar to 200 nm. The remanent polarization (2P(r)) for this film was obtained similar to 41.7 mu C/cm(2), which is much higher, compared to pure SBT film (similar to 19.2 mu C/cm(2)). The coercive field of this double layer film (67 kV/cm) was found to be lower than SBN film (98 kV/cm). (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
