Abstract
Методом магнетронного ВЧ-распыления синтезирована тонкая пленка BiFeO3 с буферным слоем ZnO на подложке лейкосапфира Al2O3 (C-plane). Исследованы структура и механизмы проводимости в тонкой пленке на основе вольтамперных характеристик и зависимостей тока утечки от времени воздействия постоянного напряжения. Показано, что в формировании токов утечки в пленке участвует более одного механизма проводимости. В области слабого электрического поля токи утечки контролируются омической проводимостью, при более сильном приложенном электрическом поле – эмиссией Шоттки или Пула–Френкеля.
