Abstract:

The polycrystalline Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were successfully prepared by femtosecond laser deposition on Si(111) wafers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that Bi4Ti3O12 thin film was highly c-axis-oriented deposited at room temperature (20℃), but the film was highly a-axis-oriented deposited at 500circC. The remanent polarization (P r) and coercive force (Ec) of a-axis-oriented samples were measured to be 15μC/cm2 and 48kV/cm respectiovely. An equivalent circuit with distributed constants of Bi4Ti3O12/Si was introduced to interpret the relationship between the I-V characteristic curve and the ferroelectric hysteresis loop of Bi4Ti3O12 deposited on Si.
