Ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties of Pb(Ti0.8Fe0.2)O3−δ thin film

Abstract

Single phase Pb(Ti0.8Fe0.2)O3−δ thin films with a thickness of 210 nm and 120 nm were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by a chemical solution deposition technique. The thin film with a thickness of 210 nm showed a homogeneous microstructure, low porosity, low oxygen vacancies, and preferred orientation. It had negligible leakage current and well saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop compared with the Pb(Ti0.8Fe0.2)O3−δ bulk sample. Polarization fatigue characteristic indicated that this film has a potential application as a switcher in some electrical devices. The saturation magnetization in the Fe-doped PbTiO3 film is weaker than that for bulk sample, and its ferromagnetism is correlated to the F-center exchange (FCE) mechanism. The present results revealed the multiferroic nature of the Pb(Ti0.8Fe0.2)O3−δ thin film.
