Abstract

Neodymium-modified Bi4Ti3O12(BNdT) thin films have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), aiming to realize enhanced ferroelectric properties by a low temperature treatment. When deposited at 500°C, the film shows P-E hysteresis having twice remanent polarization 2Pr of 78.8 μC/cm-2, coercive force Ec of about 250 kV/cm, and leakage current of less than 10-7 A/cm2 from -50 to +50 kV/cm. Good fatigue properties of BNdT films deposited at 5 Hz have been obtained up to 1010 cycles of 500 kHz bipolar square pulses, with less than 25% decrease of +Pr and -Pr.
