Abstract

Multiferroic Co-substituted BiFeO3 films were fabricated by chemical solution deposition method followed by post deposition annealing at various temperatures. The substitution of cobalt of B-sites for iron in BiFeO3 was promoted at relatively high temperatures. The B-site substitution by cobalt promoted increases in saturation magnetization and spontaneous magnetization. By substitution, leakage current density was suppressed in a high-electric-field region, and ferroelectric hysteresis (P-E) loops became measurable even at room temperature. The optimal annealing temperature for the coexistence of a high remanent polarization and a high remanent magnetization was 923 K having a high B-site substitution ratio of cobalt.
