Abstract Ferroelectric thin films are investigated for their potential in photovoltaic (PV) applications, owing to their high open-circuit voltage and switchable photovoltaic effect. The direction of the ferroelectric polarization can control the sign of the photocurrent through the ferroelectric layer, theoretically allowing for 100 percent switchability of the photocurrent with the polarization, which is particularly interesting for photo-ferroelectric memories. However, the quantitative relationship between photocurrent and polarization remains little studied. In this work, a careful investigation of the polarization-dependent photocurrent of epitaxial Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films has been carried out, and has provided a quantitative determination of the unswitchable part of ferroelectric polarization. These results represent a systematic approach to study and optimize the switchability of photocurrent, and more broadly to get important insights on the ferroelectric behavior in all types of ferroelectric layers in which pinned polarization is difficult to investigate.

AbstractBismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) is an electroceramic within the Aurivillius phase material with week ferroelectric memory. However, the partial substitution of Bi ion by a trivalent rare earth resulted in improved ferroelectric polarization. We synthesized Bi4-xSmxTi3O12 by a solution chemistry route and thin films were deposited by spin coating on Pt (Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) substrate. X-ray diffraction studies of the films showed a stoichiometric solid solution for the composition x ≤0.85. The films showed fatigue free ferroelectric polarization (Pr = 19.8 µC/cm2) for the composition x = 0.70. The films showed low leakage current at room temperature, showing the possibility of lead free ferroelectric devices.
