Article Description

Two samples of BiBa(FeTi)O with x = 0.1 thin films were deposited by RF sputtering method, on commercial indium tin oxide∕glass substrates, using different deposition procedures. The effects of deposition conditions on the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of the thin films are studied. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dielectric and magnetic characterization techniques were performed at room temperature. The results show that the two samples exhibit rhombohedral perovskite structure without the presence of undesired phases of mixed iron bismuth oxides. The SEM micrographs reveal a huge difference in grain size between the films obtained by the two distinct deposition procedure. The analysis of the reflection and transmission spectra in the UV–vis range allowed us to determine the thickness and roughness of thin films synthesized. Also, from this analysis, the optical band-gap energy increases compared with that obtained for this doped compound in volume and with pure BiFeO.
