Abstract:Bi0.9La0.1Fe0.95Mn0.05O3 (BLFMO) ferroelectric thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si/ substrates by the sol-gel process at different pyrolysis temperatures. The mass loss of BLFMO powder was investigated by thermo gravimetry analyser (TGA), and the polycrystalline structure and smooth surface of BLFMO thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The remnant polarization (Pr) of the BLFMO films pyrolyzed at 420 °C is 21.2 μC/cm2 at the coercive field (Ec) of 99 kV/cm and the leakage current density is 7.1×10-3 A/cm2, which indicates that the BLFMO thin films display relatively good ferroelectric property at this temperature.
Key words: BLFMO thin films; thermogravimetry analysis; pyrolysis temperature; ferroelectrics
