Abstract
ZnO:Al (AZO)/Sr0.8Bi2.2Ta2O9 (SBT)/Pt and AZO/SBT/Y2O3:Eu/Pt structures were fabricated, and their crystallinity, ferroelectric, and electroluminescent (EL) properties were investigated for the first time. The AZO/SBT/Pt structures showed a typical hysteresis loop, in which their double remnant polarization was approximately 5.3 µC/cm2. The polycrystalline SBT/Y2O3:Eu structures were grown on a Pt-coated substrate, in which ferroelectric phases were formed on an Y2O3:Eu film with cubic crystals. The electrical and EL properties of the AZO/SBT/Y2O3:Eu/Pt structures were measured, and then EL emission peaks associated with the 5D0–7F1 (λ=601 nm) and 5D0–7F2 (λ=617 nm) transitions of Eu3+ were observed. The EL emission pattern of the AZO/SBT/Y2O3:Eu/Pt structure was different from the PL emission pattern of the Y2O3:Eu film. Furthermore, polarization–voltage characteristics with counterclockwise hysteresis loops and an asymmetric behavior of current–voltage characteristics were observed in the fabricated AZO/SBT/Y2O3/Pt:Eu structures.
