Mössbauer Spectra of 57Fe-Enriched BiFeO3 Thin Films Fabricated on SiO2/Si Substrates by Chemical Solution Deposition Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

sup>57Fe-enriched BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films were fabricated on SiO2/Si substrates from a stoichiometric precursor solution by chemical solution deposition process. The Bi/Fe molar ratio of the thin films decreased from 0.95 to 0.80 with increase in the sintering temperature. A perovskite phase and flat surface were obtained in the BFO thin films sintered at 500 and 600 °C. However, the 57Fe Mössbauer spectra showed a mixture phase due to amorphous and/or Bi2Fe4O9 phases in the BFO thin films. The valence state of Fe ions of the BFO thin films was confirmed to be only Fe3+ by the Mössbauer spectra.
