Abstract

We deposited BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films on SrRuO3 (SRO)/Pt bottom electrodes by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering. Some samples were formed at the substrate temperature of 550 °C, and others were foremed at 450 °C and post-annealed at 650°C for crystallization. The coercive field in the post-annealed BFO film was smaller than that in the 550°C-deposited BFO film. The coercive field in Mn-doped BiFeO3 (BFMO) films which were deposited at 550 ˚C on SRO/Pt(111) was lower than that in undoped BFO films. Degradation of the remanent polarization was less significant in the post-annealed BFO film.
