主 题:BST electrode LSCO thin film.
摘 要:Epitaxial Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited on LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates with the conductive metallic oxide La0.5 Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) film as a bottom electrode by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction 0-20 andФ scan showed that the epitaxial relationship of BST/LSCO /LAO was [001] BST// [001] LSCO//[001] LAO. The atomic force microscope (AFM) revealed a smooth and crack-free surface of BST films on LSCO-coated LAO substrate with the average grain size of 120 nm and the RMS of 1.564 nm for BST films. Pt/BST/LSCO capacitor was fabricated to perform Capacitance-Voltage measurement indicating good insulating characteristics. For epitaxial BST film, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss were determined as 471 and 0.03, respectively. The tunabilty was 79.59% and the leakage current was 2.63×10^-7 A/cm^2 under an applied filed of 200 kV/cm. Furthermore, it was found that epitaxial BST (60/40) fdms demonstrate well-behaved ferroelectric properties with the remnate polarization of 6.085μC/cm^2 and the coercive field of 72 kV/cm. The different electric properties from bulk BST (60/40) materials with intrinsic paraelectric characteristic are attributed to the interface effects.
