Abstract

GaFeO3 thin films were prepared on (111)-oriented SrTiO3:Nb substrates under various oxygen pressures from 0.1 to 10 Pa at 700 °C by using a pulsed laser deposition method. Effects of the oxygen pressures on the crystallinity, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the thin films were investigated at room temperature. The results show that the GaFeO3 thin films exhibit ferroelectricity and the properties of the thin films are influenced markedly by the deposition oxygen pressures.
