Preparation and Properties of Multiferroic La-Doped BiFeO₃ Thin Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

Multiferroic La-doped Bi_1-xLa_xFeO₃thin films were prepared on conductive indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass substrates through a simple sol-gel process. The crystal structure of La-doped Bi_1-xLa_xFeO₃ thin films annealed at different temperature was determined to be rhombohedral of R3m space and free of secondary phases. The grain size of La-doped BiFeO₃ thin films tends to become larger and the grain boundary is gradually ambiguous compared to pure BiFeO₃. The double remanent polarization 2Pr of Bi_0.9La_0.1FeO₃ thin film annealed at 500°C is 6.66 µC/cm², which is slightly improved than that of pure BiFeO₃ thin film. With the increase of La-doping levels, the dielectric constant is increased and the dielectric loss is obviously decreased.
