Abstract

a- and b-axis-oriented (Bi3.25Nd0.75)Ti3O12 (BNT-0.75) films, 3.0 µm thick, were fabricated on conductive Nb:TiO2(101) substrates with 0.001–0.79 mass % Nb at 650 °C by high-temperature sputtering. All the films had a mostly single-phase orthorhombic structure and a- and b-axis orientations. The degree of a- and b-axis orientations was high, with values of ≥96%. BNT-0.75 films grown heteroepitaxially on Nb:TiO2(101) substrates containing 0.79 mass % Nb were comprised of nanoplate-like crystals and exhibited the best hysteresis loop shapes, with a remanent polarization (2Pr) of 29 µC/cm2 and a coercive field (2Ec) of 297 kV/cm.
