研究目的
Investigating the ferroelectric and photovoltaic properties of (BiFeO3)(1?x)Λ/(LaFeO3)xΛ superlattices to understand the modulation of the photovoltaic response in relation to the ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the tailoring of photovoltaic properties in (BiFeO3)(1?x)Λ/(LaFeO3)xΛ superlattices, showing a switchable PV response for ferroelectric SLs and a non-switchable PV behavior for paraelectric-like SLs. This provides an efficient way for engineering the photovoltaic effect in ferroelectric materials via the design of new epitaxial superlattices.
研究不足
The study is limited to the investigation of ferroelectric and photovoltaic properties under specific conditions (fixed number of bilayers and constant period). The influence of other factors such as different substrates or bilayer thicknesses is not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study focuses on the ferroelectric and photovoltaic responses of the superlattices, using pulsed laser deposition for growth.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Epitaxial multiferroic (BiFeO3)(1?x)Λ/(LaFeO3)xΛ superlattices grown on (1 1 1) oriented SrTiO3 substrates with a fixed number of bilayers (25) and constant period of approximately Λ = 10 nm.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Bottom SrRuO3 (30 nm) and top ITO electrodes (
4:1 mm diameters) were used for electrical characterization. A TF Analyzer 1000 aixACCT for ferroelectric P–E loops measurements, a Keithley 2635 electrometer for I(V) curves, an Argon-Krypton tuneable laser for illumination, and a Linkam stage for temperature control. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Ferroelectric P–E loops measurements at 1 kHz, I(V) curves collection under illumination (488 nm to 647 nm), and temperature-controlled PV measurements.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis of the PV response, including open circuit voltage Voc and short-circuit current Jsc, and their dependence on laser power and temperature.
