Multiferroic heterostructurehave been deposited by pulsed laser deposition method. X-ray diffraction shows that the BFO and BST were epitaxial grown on -buffered (100) substrate. Interestingly, the BST/BFO heterostructure exhibits improved ferroelectric and ferromagnetic behaviors with remnant polarization and saturation magnetization . Compared with the single BFO film, the BST/BFO heterostructure showed higher dielectric constant and lower dielectric loss. Furthermore, the leakage behaviors of the BST/BFO heterostructure were consistent with SCLC behavior at low electric-field region and PF emission at high electric-field region. Our result indicates the BST/BFO multiferroic heterostructure may be a promising material for the high-density memory application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
