Well-saturated ferroelectric polarization in PbTiO₃–SmFeO₃ thin films

Abstract

Large remanent polarization in PbTiO3–SmFeO3 thin films with distinct a-domains.

Strain-induced robust magnetic anisotropy and room temperature magnetoelectric coupling effect in epitaxial SmFeO3 film

“…In addition, some nanocomposite single-phase systems were also studied. For example, room temperature (RT) multiferroic properties were found in the PbTiO 3 -SmFeO 3 film and BiFeO 3 -PbTiO 3 single crystal [30,31], but the ME coupling effect was rather weak because the magnetic and ferroelectric orders respectively arose from different ions. Therefore, exploring new single-phase multiferroic materials with high temperature, large M s as well as strong ME coupling effect have become a topical research field.…”

Structure, ferroelectric, and enhanced fatigue properties of sol–gel-processed new Bi-based perovskite thin films of Bi(Cu1/2Ti1/2)O3–PbTiO3

“…Note that in the sol-gel-processed perovskite thin film, it is easier to form simple preferential orientation, such as in the Bi(Zn 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 , Bi(Mg 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 , and SmFeO 3 -PbTiO 3 thin films. [15,16,25] According to the fitting results, it can be seen that the introduction of BCT leads the c axis to decrease and the a axis to increase. As a consequence, it can be observed that c/a decreases with BCT content increasing.…”

Ferroelectric thin films: performance modulation and application

“…43 For example, Mn-doped BaTiO 3 thin films, 44 and Sm and Fe co-doped PbTiO 3 thin films. 45 Through inserting luminescent centers into ferroelectric thin films, high-performance optical materials were constructed, such as Er/Yb co-doped BaTiO 3 thin films 46 and Ni-doped Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 thin films. 47…”
