Nanoporous PbTiO3 films present enhanced tetragonality at lower temperatures than respective dense films. Moreover, the porosity present in the nanoporous films allows an increase of the local piezoelectric response and a decrease of the local coercive field. As a result, these nanoporous films might be used to improve the switching behaviour of ferroelectric thin films.

A Site

s. Yttium-substituted bismuth titanate (Bi4-xYxTi3O12, BYT) thin films were deposited on the (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2(100) substrates by a modified Sol-Gel process and studied in this work in terms ofY3+-modified microstructure and phase development as well as ferroelectric properties. With the aid of the fist-principle, the position of Y3+substitution for Bi3+on the microstructure of BYT was studied.The phase change in the formation of BYT crystalline and the effect of Y3+substitution for Bi3+on the microstructure of BYT was studiedbyXRD. The results showed that the optimal properties of the obtained BYT ferroelectric thin films werex:0.6. The ferroelectric properties of the films were also investigated. When the Y-substituted contentxwas equal to 0.6, the remnant polarization was the largest. The remnant polarization 2Prvalue was equal to 16.02μC/cm2and the coercive fieldEcvalue was 88 kV/cm.

Metalorganic Decomposition

We have investigated the effect that the Ta content has on the ferroelectric properties of strontium bismuth tantalate (SBT) thin films synthesized using metalorganic decomposition (MOD) and spin coating techniques. The physical properties of these SBT samples were strongly dependent upon the Ta ratio. Polarization measurements revealed that Ta-deficient SBT exhibited a relatively low coercive field (2Ec ∼ 87 kV/cm) and a high remanent polarization (2Pr ∼ 15 μC/cm2). The value of 2Pr decreased as the Ta ratio in SBT increased. The improved ferroelectric properties of the Ta-deficient SBT samples may have resulted from the uniformly well-grown bismuth-layered-structured (BLS) phases of the films and their highly preferential orientation along the a and b axes. We suggest that the incorporation of Ta vacancies plays an important role in enhancing the crystallinities and microstructures of Ta-deficient SBT films.

ABSTRACTTi-site substitution using the higher-valent cation was performed on ferroelectric thin films of neodymium-substituted bismuth titanate, (Bi,Nd)4Ti3O12(BNT), in order to improve its ferroelectric properties by compensating the space charge in BIT-based crystal. Ti-site-substituted BNT films, (Bi3.50Nd0.50)1-(x/12)(Ti3.00-xVx)O15(x= 0 ∼ 0.09), were fabricated on (111)Pt/Ti/ SiO2/(100)Si substrates using a chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. V5+-substitution enhanced the remanent polarization of BNT film without change in the coercive field. V5+-substitution also exhibited the possibilities for improving the endurance against leakage current and fatigue degradation.
