摘要
The ferroelectric domain wall motion was investigated in epitaxial PbTiO3 and BiAlO3 thin films on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 substrates. To determine the switching speeds of two ferroelectric capacitors consisting of PbTiO3 and BiAlO3 thin films, the switching currents of the two capacitors were measured as a function of time. The BiAlO3 thin film showed faster switching behavior than the PbTiO3 thin film. Data from a piezoelectric force microscope study indicated that the high domain wall motion of the BiAlO3 thin film is due to its low activation energy. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
