Abstract

Ti-site substitution using the higher-valent cation was performed on ferroelectric thin films of neodymium-substituted bismuth titanate, (Bi,Nd)4Ti3O12 (BNT), in order to improve its ferroelectric properties by compensating the space charge in BIT-based crystal. Ti-site-substituted BNT films, (Bi3.50Nd0.50)1-(x/12)(Ti3.00-xVx)O15 (x = 0 ∼ 0.09), were fabricated on (111)Pt/Ti/ SiO2/(100)Si substrates using a chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. V5+-substitution enhanced the remanent polarization of BNT film without change in the coercive field. V5+-substitution also exhibited the possibilities for improving the endurance against leakage current and fatigue degradation.
