Highly textured BiFeO3(001) films were formed on L10-FePt(001) bottom electrodes on glass substrates by sputtering at reduced temperature of 400°C. Good electric polarization 2Pr = 80 and 95 μC/cm2, comparable to that of the reported epitaxial films, and coercivity Ec = 415 and 435 kV/cm are achieved in the samples with 20-nm- and 30-nm-thick electrodes. The BiFeO3(001) films show different degrees of compressive strain. The relation between the variations of strain and 2Pr suggests that the enhancement of 2Pr resulted from the strain-induced rotation of spontaneous polarization. The presented results open possibilities for the applications based on electric-magnetic interactions.
高织构 BiFeO3(001) 薄膜在玻璃衬底上通过低温(400°C)溅射在 L10-FePt(001) 底电极上形成。在厚度为 20nm 和 30nm 的电极的样品中,实现了 2Pr=80 和 95μC/cm2 的良好电极化,与报道的外延薄膜相当,矫顽力 Ec=415 和 435kV/cm。BiFeO3(001) 薄膜表现出不同程度的压缩应变。应变变化与 2Pr 的关系表明,2Pr 的增强是由于自发极化的应变诱导旋转引起的。所呈现的结果为基于电磁相互作用的应用开辟了可能性。
