摘要
The compositionally graded (Bi(0.92)La(0.08))(Fe(1-x)Zn(x))O(3) (x=0.03, 0.07, and 0.13) thin film was layer-by-layer grown on Pt/Ti/SiO(2)/Si(1 0 0) substrates without any buffer layers by radio frequency sputtering. This thin film has a pure polycrystalline perovskite structure with random orientation, a dense microstructure, and a low leakage current density. A large remanent polarization of 2P(r)similar to 142.00 mu C/cm(2) and a good magnetic behavior of 2M(s)similar to 27.52 emu/cm(3) are demonstrated in such a thin film. The applied electric fields and measurement frequencies strongly affect its fatigue endurance, that is, its fatigue endurance was degraded with decreasing frequencies and electric fields.
