Abstract:
BiFeO
3/PbTiO
3 multilayer film has been prepared on LaNiO
3 bottom electrodes by sol-gel process.Structure,ferroelectric and leakage conduction properties at room temperature were studied by comparing with pure BiFeO
3 film.BiFeO
3 and PbTiO
3 phases can be observed from the XRD patterns.Antiferroelecricity is able to be observed in BiFeO
3/PbTiO
3 multilayer film under low applied field by measuring the electric hysteresis loop;while under higher applied field,ferroelectricity is able to be observed.Comparing with pure BiFeO
3 film,the BiFeO
3/PbTiO
3 multilayer film can endure higher applied field thus getting fully polarized and shows more intense ferroelectricity.Moreover,the BiFeO
3/PbTiO
3 multilayer film has lower leakage current comparing with the pure BiFeO
3 film.
