Double Perovskite Bi2FeCrO6 Thin Films for Photovoltaics

Article Preview

Abstract:

High-quality BFCO films with smooth morphology were deposited on (001)-oriented single crystal substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. The perfect ferroelectric nature of the BFCO films were probed by PFM and electrical P-E hysteresis measurements and the obtained saturated remeanent polarization value reaches up to 60 μC/cm2. Besides, BFCO films show relatively low bandgap of 2.5 eV, can absorb the sunlight and convert the solar energy to electrically energy effectively. A photocurrent of 1.2 mA/cm2 and an open-circuit voltage of about 0.53 V were obtained under AM1.5G illumination. The results mainfest the BFCO a potiential material for multifunctional devices, especially for photovoltaics.
