The Ultrathin Limit and Dead-layer Effects in Local Polarization Switching of BiFeO3

Journal Article Maksymovych, Petro ; Huijben, Mark ; Pan, Minghu ; ... - Physical Review B

Using piezoresponse force microscopy in ultra-high vacuum, polarization switching has been detected and quantified in epitaxial BiFeO3 films from 200 down to ~ 4 unit cells. Local remnant piezoresponse was used to infer the applied electric field inside the ferroelectric volume, and account for the elusive effect of dead-layers in ultrathin films. The dead-layer manifested itself in the slower than anticipated decrease of the switching bias with film thickness, yielding apparent Kay-Dunn scaling of the switching field, while the statistical analysis of hysteresis loops revealed lateral variation of the dead-layer with sub-10 nm resolution.

Intrinsic polarization switching mechanisms in BiFeO₃

Journal Article Xu, Bin ; Garcia, Vincent ; Fusil, Stéphane ; ... - Physical Review B

A first-principles-based effective Hamiltonian technique is used to investigate the polarization switching mechanisms in two polymorphic phases of BiFeO₃ having no defects. The switching mechanism is homogeneous for any switching field in the rhombohedral phase, while in the supertetragonal phase it changes from the classical nucleation and domain-wall motion to nucleation-limited switching with virtually no propagation, and then to homogeneous switching with increasing electric field. The first two inhomogeneous switching mechanisms of the supertetragonal phase of BiFeO₃ are thus intrinsic in nature, and can be well described by the classical and nucleation-limited switching models, respectively. The reason behind their absencemore »« less

Effect of the thickness of BiFeO{sub 3} layers on the magnetic and electric properties of BiFeO{sub 3}/La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} heterostructures

Journal Article Wang, Le ; Wang, Zhen ; Jin, Kui-juan ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

BiFeO{sub 3} layers with various thicknesses were fabricated on La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} covered SrTiO{sub 3} substrates by a laser molecular-beam epitaxy system. The ferromagnetic transition temperature (T{sub c}) and magnetic coercive field (H{sub c}) of BiFeO{sub 3}/La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} heterostructures are larger than those of the La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} film. With increasing the thickness of the BiFeO{sub 3} layer, T{sub c}, H{sub c}, and ferroelectric coercive field of the BiFeO{sub 3}/La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} heterostructures decrease, while the dielectric permittivity, remanent polarization, and resistance ratio of the ON and OFF states increase.

Field-dependent magnetization of BiFeO₃ in ultrathin La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃/BiFeO₃ superlattice

Journal Article Fitzsimmons, Michael R. ; Jia, Quanxi X. ; Singh, Surendra ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Here, we report the observation of field-dependent magnetization of BiFeO₃ (BFO) in an ultrathin BFO/La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) superlattice using polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR). Our PNR results indicate parallel alignment of magnetization across BFO/LSMO interfaces. The study showed an increase in average magnetization of the BFO layer on increasing applied magnetic field at 10 K, similar to the ferromagnetic nature of LSMO. We obtained a saturation magnetization of 110 ± 15kA/m(~0.8μ_B/Fe) for an ultrathin BFO layer (~2 unit cells) sandwiched between ultrathin LSMO layers (~2 unit cells), which is much higher than the canted moment (0.03μ_B/Fe) in the bulk BFO.
