摘要: Thin films of the multiferroic perovskite-type oxide BiFeO3 were processed via solution deposition. The annealing schedule was chosen so as to give large and fine grained thin films. Microstructure, polarization, dielectric properties are reported. It is shown that film characterized by poor properties. Both microstructures show, however, polarization characteristics. Surface scanning potential microscopy reveals areas high low surface potentials in both specimens with a pronounced effect thought these indirectly responsible for
