Abstract
BiFeO3 (BFO) application in flexible wearable devices is garnering interest because of its unique ferroelectric and magnetic properties. However, the integration of high-quality BFO films onto flexible substrates presents significant technical challenges. Here, we successfully fabricated high-quality BFO films on mica substrates by using pulsed laser deposition, and report the fatigue characteristics of BFO films on flexible substrates for the first time. The results demonstrated that, after 108 bipolar switching cycles, the polarization only degraded by 0.28%, indicating superior fatigue characteristics compared to previously reported BFO films. Additionally, the device ferroelectric properties remained largely unchanged, with a bending radius of 3.5 mm. The fabricated flexible Pt/BFO/La0.65Sr0.35MnO3(LSMO)/SrTiO3(STO)/mica non-volatile memory devices exhibited mechanical flexibility and fatigue resistance. These findings not only highlight the potential of flexible BFO films for wearable electronic devices and flexible memory devices, they also provide valuable insight for the future development of high-performance flexible ferroelectric materials.
