Co3+ doping in BiFeO3 is expected to be an effective method for improving its magnetic properties. In this work, pristine BiFeO3 (BFO) and doped BiFe1-xCoxO3 (BFCxO, x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.10) composite thin films were successfully synthesized by a sol–gel technique. XRD and Raman spectra indicate that the Co3+ ions are substituted for the Fe3+ ion sites in the BFO rhombohedral lattice. Raman vibration of oxygen octahedron is obviously weakened due to the lattice distortion induced by the size mismatch between two B-site cations (Fe3+ and Co3+ ions), which has an impact on the magnetic properties of BFCxO. SEM images reveal a denser agglomeration in Co-doped samples. TEM results indicate that the average size of grains is reduced due to the Co3+ substitution. XPS measurements illustrate that the replacement of Fe3+ with Co3+ effectively suppresses the generation of oxygen defects and increases the concentration of Fe3+ ions at the B-site of perovskite lattice. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements show that the remanent magnetization (Mr) of BFC0.07O (3.6 emu/cm3) and the saturation magnetization (Ms) of BFC0.10O (48.84 emu/cm3) thin film both increase by approximately two times at room temperature, compared with that of the pure BFO counterpart.

Mn, Co, and Ni-doped La0.5Sr0.5FeO3 thin films were prepared by the sol-gel technique with different annesling atmosphere. The structure and dielectric properties of the films were researched by XRD, SEM and Agilent. The study found that LSF-Mn (Co, Ni) films under the argon annealing atmosphere were have optimal dielectric properties. And Mn, Co, Ni elements are integrated into La0.5Sr0.5FeO3 lattices with the single perovskite phase. And uniform grain was distribution on the film surface.

Herein, Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) ferroelectric thin films were fabricated into Au/BIT/LaNiO3/Si structures to demonstrate their memristor properties. Repeatable and stable bipolar resistive switching (RS) characteristics of the device are first reported in this work. The switching ratio of the device annealed in air reached approximately 102 at 0.1 and −0.1 V. The RS performance was not significantly degraded after 100 consecutive cycles of testing. We also explored the factors affecting the RS behavior of the device. By investigating the RS characteristics of the devices annealed in O2, and in combination with XPS analysis, we found that the RS properties were closely related to the presence of oxygen vacancies. The devices annealed in air exhibited a markedly improved RS effect over those annealed in O2. According to the slope fitting, the conduction mechanism of the device was the ohmic conduction and space charge limited current (SCLC). This study is the first to successfully apply BIT ferroelectric films to the RS layers of memristors. Additionally, a theory of conductive filaments is proposed to adequately explain the relationship between RS behavior and oxygen vacancies, providing meaningful inspiration for designing high-quality resistive random access memory devices.

Thin films nanoparticles TbxY3-xFe5O12 (x=0.0, 1.0, 2.0) were prepared by the sol-gel process followed by annealing process at various annealing temperatures of 700° C, 800° C and 900° C in air for 2 h. The results obtained from X-ray diffractometer (XRD) show that the films annealed below 900°C exhibit peaks of garnet mixed with small amounts of YFeO3 and Fe2O3. Pure garnet phase has been detected in the films annealed at 900°C. Before annealing the films show amorphous structures. The particles sizes measurement using the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) showed that the particles sizes increased as the annealing temperature increased. The magnetic properties were measured at room temperature using the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The saturation magnetization (Ms) of the films also increased with the annealing temperature. However, different behavior of coercivity (Hc) has been observed as the annealing temperature was increased.
