摘要
BiFeO3 is a multiferroic material, its tetragonality (T) phase usually exhibits large tetragonality (c/a ratio) and strong ferroelectricity. Unlike the commonly used method of strain engineering via substrate, here we present a general and practical approach for obtaining T-like phase BiFeO3 films through (Ba,Ca)TiO3 doping (BF-BCT). The BF-BCT film coherently grows on the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/(La0.18Sr0.82)(Al0.59Ta0.41)O3 (001) substrate even at 180 nm thick, implying a very large critical thickness, and shows a large tetragonality of 1.12. Impressively, the films exhibit a giant remanent polarization (2Pr) of 320 μC/cm2, which is higher than the corresponding values of any other lead-free ferroelectric films reported to date. Cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy measurements confirm the presence of the T-like phase in BF-BCT films, where the giant polarization might be attributed to the off-center B-site atom. The BF-BCT films are structurally homogeneous without any precipitation of the second phase. The giant polarization observed in the BF-BCT films indicate their great potential for application in next-generation storage and information devices.
