摘要: Nd-doped Bi4Ti3O12 thin films, (Bi3.25Nd0.85)4Ti3O12, of layered perovskite structure were synthesized by rf sputtering, followed postannealing at 600–700°C. They show enhanced ferroelectricity with rising temperature in the range 650–750°C. When annealed 700°C, a remanent polarization 2Pr 25.2μC∕cm2 and coercive field Ec 87.2kV∕cm measured 9V, together an almost fatigue-free behavior up to 1.4×1010 switching cycles. Their ferroelectric, dielectric, ac conductivity properties over from 25to300°C studied frequency 0.1–1MHz. Space-charge relaxation oxygen vacancies was shown play important role determining dielectric behaviors films.
