摘要: Abstract Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 thin films were deposited on Pt/SiO 2 /Si substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observation shows that there is a transition layer at BST/Pt interface, and the about 7–8 nm thickness. It found was diminished to 2–3 nm thickness reducing initial RF sputtering power. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiles show high Ti atomic concentration results in thick interfacial layer. Moreover, symmetry ν of ɛ r – V curve BST film enhanced from 52.37 95.98%. Meanwhile, tunability, difference negative positive remanent polarization ( P ), coercive field E C ) are remarkably improved.
