Abstract

Effects of rare earth Dy and transition metal (TM = Cu, Co and Mn) ions co-doping on the structural, electrical and ferroelectric properties of the BiFeO3 thin films prepared on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by using a chemical solution deposition method were investigated. All thin films formed as randomly oriented polycrystalline, with no detectable impurity or secondary phases. Among the thin films, the (Bi0.9Dy0.1)(Fe0.975Mn0.025)O3 thin film exhibited well saturated hysteresis loops with remnant polarization (2P r ) of 51 μC/cm2 and low coercive electric field (2E c ) of 685 at 935 kV/cm and low leakage current density of 1.4 × 10−5 A/cm2 at 100 kV/cm. The enhanced properties observed in the co-doped thin films could be considered as being the results of the suppression of ionic defects and of the modified microstructure.
