Abstract
Both the ferroelectric and magnetic properties of polycrystalline BiFeO3 films fabricated by chemical solution deposition were enhanced by adding small amounts of cobalt. Addition of 3at.% cobalt to BiFeO3 films increased the remanent polarization from 49to72μC∕cm2 and decreased the electric coercive field from 0.54to0.44MV∕cm. The ferroelectricity degraded when the cobalt concentration exceeded 9at.% due to the formation of the secondary phases of Bi2Pt. The saturation magnetization was drastically enhanced by the addition of cobalt up to 12at.%. This is because the magnetic moments are not canceled locally since the differences of magnetic moment between B-sites. The saturation magnetization decreased when the cobalt content exceeded 15at.%, thereby attributing to the formation of a nonmagnetic secondary phase of Bi2Pt. It is concluded that both ferroelectric and magnetic properties were enhanced, provided only small amount of cobalt were added to the films.
