Abstract

Compositionally up and downgraded Bi4-x/3Ti3-xVxO12 (x=0.0,0.012,0.03,0.06) thin films were grown on Pt coated silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. Downgraded fabrication showed improved ferroelectric polarization in comparison to upgraded fabrication. Films deposited at 650 and 700° C showed very large remnant polarization (2Pr) value of 82 µC cm-2, which is comparatively large among all bismuth based thin films reported so far. A mechanism based on vanadium enrich seeded layer formation in the downgraded structure is proposed for the improvement. Moreover, frequency independent behavior (100Hz-5kHz) of the graded films ensures its potential application for various microelectronic devices.
