Abstract

BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films have been deposited on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 (001) substrate by using ion beam sputtering process. At low oxygen partial pressure of 11 m Pa, rhombohedral and large c/a mixed phase thin film have been obtained in spite of rhombohedral BFO single phase formation at high oxygen partial pressure of 73 mPa. From wide area 2θ-Ψ mappings, diffraction peaks from large c/a phase BFO thin film were obtained with the same extinction rule as those of rhombohedral BFO. Reciprocal space mappings around BFO (003) and BFO (103) spots indicate that lattice parameters of large c/a phase BFO were a = 0.381 nm and c = 0.461 nm (c/a =1.22), respectively. Moreover ferroelectric domain switching could be observed in both of rhombohedral BFO and mixed phase BFO thin films.
