Abstract

Artificial multiferroic superlattices (SL), consisting of BiFeO3 (16 nm)/Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (5 nm) (BFO/BNT SL), were grown on (001) SrTiO3 single crystal by pulsed laser deposition method. The cross-sectional, surface morphology, and crystallographic structure of BFO/BNT SL and BFO single layer were investigated. It was found that the electrical, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties of BFO/BNT SL exhibit a remarkably enhancement compared with BFO single layer. The influence of BNT buffering layer, lattice strain, and interfaces interplay of the SL structure are supposed to benefit their ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. Our works suggested the BFO/BNT SL with an improved multiferroic characteristics have a promising application for the future informational storage devices.
