Abstract

Multiferroic and resistive switching properties of single-phase polycrystalline perovskite BiFe0.95Cr0.05O3 (BFCO) thin films grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering were investigated. The BFCO film shows ferroelectric and magnetic properties simultaneously at room temperature, and also exhibits a good piezoelectric property with remanent effective piezoelectric coefficient d 33,f ∼55±4 pm/V. An obviously resistive switching behavior was observed in the BFCO thin film at room temperature, which was discussed by the filamentary conduction mechanism associated with the redistribution of oxygen vacancies.
