1 The 2012 World Congress on Advances in Civil, Environmental, and Materials Research (ACEM 12) Seoul, Korea, August 26-30, 2012 Preparation and Characterization of BiFeO 3 Thin Films by Sol-Gel Route Aseya Akbar 1)*, Saira Riaz 1,2) and Shahzad Naseem 1) 1), 2) Centre of Excellence in Solid State Physics, University of the Punjab, Lahore 54590, Pakistan 2) saira_cssp@yahoo.com ABSTRACT Synthesis of the precursors, using research grade materials and locally available facilities, is optimized in order to obtain a suitable sol for BiFeO 3. The optimally synthesized BiFeO 3 sol is then spun onto Cu and glass substrates to obtain films of thickness nm. Films are studied with the help of XRD, VSM, SEM, and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry. X-ray diffraction results show the formation of BiFeO 3 even in the as-deposited samples. However, some secondary phases were also present with high intensity. After annealing at 300 o C, secondary phases became less intense but could not be completely eliminated. Another BiFeO 3 sol was prepared by changing the solvents and by controlled addition of sodium oleate as ligand. Thin films, prepared using this sol, are single phased even in the as-deposited form. (110) preferred orientation of these BiFeO 3 thin films is achieved after annealing at 300 o C. Ferroelectric switching with a phase angle of 180 o is observed as a function of externally applied electric field. Ferromagnetic properties are also observed in these BiFeO 3 thin films. Dense nanostructure with uniformly distributed grains ~ 100 nm is observed by scanning electron microscope. Optical results show absorption in the blue and green region with a band gap ~ 2.7 ev. Dielectric constants of the films show dispersion in the range of 100Hz-1MHz. These results demonstrate that careful use of solvents and ligands can result in pure BiFeO 3 sol and then thin films; a promising candidate for memory and photovoltaic applications. 1. INTRODUCTION Multiferroic materials are a class of materials which reveal coexistence of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity. Microscopic origin of magnetism and ferroelectricity is well understood in these materials. Magnetization arises due to exchange interaction of localized electrons in partially filled d or f shells while ferroelectricity requires the transition metal ion to have an empty outer shell of electrons. Revival of multiferroic materials brings an ever increasing interest in this field (Safi 2012). To date several materials have been reported that exhibit ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties among which bismuth iron oxide (BFO) is the material that receives most interest because of its ferroelectric and ferromagnetic ordering at room temperature with high G-type antiferromagnetic Neel temperature (T N =647K) and high ferroelectric Curie temperature (T c =1103K) (Safi 2012, Sharma 2011). In BiFeO 3, ferroelectric properties arise from A-site (Bi) where Bi-O orbital hybridization occurs due
2 to 6s 2 lone pair of electrons while Fe-O-Fe Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interactions on B-site (Fe) give rise to weak antiferromagnetic ordering (Safi 2012). Unit cell of BiFeO 3 can be described by hexagonal, rhombohedral and pseudo-cubic structure, where [111] hex [111] rh [001] pc. However, at room temperature only rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure is stable. It undergoes structural transition to orthorhombic phase near 1098K and at 1204K it under goes transition to pseudocubic phase (Safi 2012). During synthesis of bismuth iron oxide using chemical route, it is extremely important to control the synthesis conditions. High volatility of Bi 2 O 3 leads to formation of bismuth deficient phase Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9, and small excess of Bi 2 O 3 can lead to the formation of Bi 25 FeO 39 (Quan 2008, Zhang 2011). Zhang et al reported that high temperature annealing is not favorable for pure BiFeO 3 phase and results in the formation of secondary phases (Zhang 2011). This is due to low chemical stability of BFO at high temperature. In this work, bismuth iron oxide thin films have been deposited on copper and glass substrates via sol-gel method. Two different routes are employed for sol synthesis. Effect of thickness and solvent used on structural, optical and dielectric properties has been studied. Polycrystalline single phase BiFeO 3 thin films are being reported here at room temperature for the first time in literature using wet chemistry. 2. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS BFO thin films are prepared via sol-gel method using Fe(NO 3 ) 3.9H 2 O and Bi(NO 3 ) 3.5H 2 O as precursors. 0.48g of Bi(NO 3 ) 3.5H 2 O and 0.4g of Fe(NO 3 ) 3.9H 2 O were separately dissolved in the solvent. Different weight percentages of iron and bismuth are employed to compensate for the volatility of bismuth during high temperature annealing. The two solutions were mixed together at room temperature, and then heating at 60 o C with constant stirring to obtain a stable sol. Concentration of the solution was adjusted to 0.1M. Two different sols were synthesized using ethylene glycol and acetic acids as solvents. In the synthesis of bismuth iron oxide, the electronegativity difference of the two elements [Fe ~ 1.83) and Bi ~ 2.02] leads to different hydrolysis rates for bismuth and iron thus making it difficult to synthesize a stable sol. Ethylene glycol, a linearly structured molecule, has two hydroxyl groups that makes it easy to compensate for different hydrolysis rates of iron and bismuth (Xu 2009). Acetic acid was used as a solvent in the other sol since it increases the rate of hydrolysis during sol synthesis thus stabilizing the sol. The films were annealed at 300 o C for stabilization of the phases. Before spin coating, copper substrates were first immersed in diluted HCl to etch the native oxide. Then, the substrates were cleaned in ultrasonic bath using acetone and isopropyl alcohol in order to remove the residual organic impurities. The deposition was carried out by spin coating with varying rotation speed in order to vary thickness of the films (Table 1) and then effects of changes in morphology and structure of the films were studied.

Optical properties of thin films were studied using M-2000 Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (VASE) operated at angle of incidence of 45. Capacitance and dielectric measurements were carried out in the frequency range of 100Hz-1MHz using Precision Impedance Analyzer. The surface microstructure was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (Hitachi S3400N). 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Structural Properties Fig. 1 shows X-ray diffraction patterns of BFO thin films; substrate peaks are eliminated. Peaks belonging to BFO are indexed according to JCPD card no No peaks of secondary BFO i.e. Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 and Bi 46 Fe 2 O 7 were detected indicating the formation of pure phase polycrystalline BiFeO 3 distorted rhombohedral perovskite structure. Non-perovskite phases are suppressed by using equimolar ratio of Bi and Fe content that leads to excess bismuth thus compensating for the volatility of bismuth ions. Two prominent shoulder peaks in inset of Fig. 1 (b-c) is because of two closely misoriented planes (320) and (321). Moreover, splitting of planes (110) and (110) is observed in case of film b. These results indicate that copper can act as a suitable substrate for deposition and stability of BiFeO 3 thin films.
4 Fig. 1: XRD of BFO films prepared under E1, E2 and E3 conditions at room temperature The most important thing is the polycrystalline nature of BiFeO 3 observed in our films without any heat treatment. To the best of our knowledge there is no report on polycrystalline nature of BiFeO 3 thin films using chemical methods without heat treatment. Huang et al (2011) reported pure BiFeO 3 films on Pt/Ti/Si/SiO 2 substrate in the temperature range of o C using chemical solution deposition method. Sharma et al (2011) prepared nanostructured BiFeO 3 thin films on glass substrate via sol-gel and obtained crystalline BiFeO 3 phase upon annealing at 450 o C. Huang et al (2011) obtained crystalline phase on Si and LaNiO 3 /Si after crystallizing the films at 600 o C. Xiuzhang et al (2010) reported crystalline phase on LaNiO 3 coated Si substrate using sol-gel method upon annealing the films at 500 o C. Das et al (2010) used wet chemical route and obtained the required phase after annealing the films at 400 o C and 500 o C. Zhang et al (2010) obtained polycrystalline BiFeO 3 thin films, prepared via chemical solution deposition method, upon annealing at 500 o C. This literature overview and our XRD results indicate that there is so far no report on polycrystalline pure BiFeO 3 films at room temperature, and that copper can act as a suitable substrate for obtaining single phase BFO thin films which is being observed in our case for the first time. We have heat-treated these samples as well, however the detailed results will be presented elsewhere.

This figure shows a dense surface microstructure with grains of the order of 100nm; the details will be published elsewhere. Fig. 2: SEM of BFO film 3.2 Dielectric Properties The value of dielectric constant is calculated from the equation: Where, ε o is permittivity of free space, d is thickness of the film and A is area of the device. Dielectric loss, which gives the loss of energy from applied field into the specimen, is given as: Where, ρ is the resistivity of the film and f is frequency of the applied field. Frequency dependence of dielectric constant is displayed in Fig. 3. The films show dispersion in dielectric constant in the range of 100Hz to 10KHz. The dispersion of the dielectric constant with increase in frequency is because of the fact that when electric field is applied, the space-charge carriers require finite time to align their axes in the direction of field. When frequency of the field is increased, the space-charge carriers do (1) (2)
6 not follow the alteration of the field effectively and a decrease in dielectric constant is observed. At high frequency the reversal of applied field is so high that the charge carriers barely move before the field reverses and thus make no contribution to polarization and hence the steady dielectric constant (Verma 2011) A1_as deposited A2 A3 Boltzmann fitting of A1 Boltzmann fitting of A2 Boltzmann fitting of A3 ε ' Frequency(Hz) A1_ann A2 A3 Boltzmann fitting of A1 Boltzmann fitting of A2 Boltzmann fitting of A3 ε' Frequency(Hz)

However, there is a decrease of dielectric constant upon annealing. The values of dielectric constant are quite low as compared to the reported values (Tang 2012, Kim 2012, Ahmed 2012). It is well known that dielectric properties of thin films are affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic properties. Among the intrinsic parameters film orientation, grain boundaries and dielectric response of single domain is extremely important. Decrease in grain size can lead to increase in internal stresses to inhibit the formation of 180 domain thus causing a decrease in dielectric constant of some multiferroic thin films (Tang 2012). Extrinsic effects arise from strain/stress from substrate clamping and pinning of domain boundary due to domain wall motion (Tang 2012). The dielectric dispersion curve is explained on the basis of Koop s theory based
8 on Maxwell-Wanger model according to which grain boundaries are found to be more effective in low frequency region while grains are more effective in high frequency region. In the nanoregime, both grains and grain boundaries are found to be in large numbers as compared to that in bulk. So the relatively small dielectric constant is because of the large grain boundaries due to large dc resistivity. In low frequency regime, dc resistivity exhibits a more dominant role in determining the dielectric properties as compared with the electronic and ionic polarization (Verma 2011). 3.3 Optical Properties and ψ can be represented as mathematical functions relating to the material characteristics. Hence, a mathematical model dependent analysis has to be performed to determine the required parameters from measured ellipsometric data. Measured and fitted data of ψ and for films E4 and A4 are shown in Fig. 4. Cauchy model is used to fit the experimental data in the transparent spectral region. A good fit between the model and experimental data over the entire wavelength range can be seen in this figure. 26 ψ exp exp ψ fit fit ψ λ(nm)

The peak in imaginary part of dielectric constant ε 2 at 3.4eV corresponds to transition from occupied O-2p state to unoccupied Fe-3d state or d-d transition of Fe-3d valence and conduction bands (Himcinschi 2010) ε 1 exp ε 2 exp ε 1 fit ε 2 fit ε ε λ(nm)

Obviously, n changes with wavelength analogous to normal dispersion. A peak of refractive index at varying wavelengths by changing the thickness and under annealing conditions corresponds to direct band gap transition. Moreover a general trend is seen that with increasing the thickness refractive index decreases, whereas upon annealing the refractive index increases. This increase may be attributed to higher packing density and a change in crystalline structure. Values of refractive index under as-deposited conditions are lower than earlier reported values but upon annealing our values are in good agreement with refractive index reported for thin films. (Huang 2010, Li 2007, Bi 2008).

The absorption coefficient α of BFO thin films is deduced from extinction coefficient using The direct band gap is extracted by linear extrapolation of α 2 (m -2 ) vs. E(eV) plot to zero on the energy axis. A typical such plot is shown in Fig. 7. (5)

This is because of changes in barrier height at grain boundaries with thickness due to high density of dislocations or because of quantum size effect. The optical band gap values of BiFeO 3 thin films come out to be in the range ev. Park et al (2011) reported a band gap of 2.7eV, Himcinschi et al (2010) reported a band gap of 2.75eV, Zelezny et al (2010) reported a band gap of eV, Bi et al (2008) reported a band gap of 2.44eV, and Cheng et al (2012) reported a band gap of 2.72eV. The band gap values in our case in line with most of the referenced above. 3.4 Electrical and Magnetic Hysteresis As mentioned earlier, interest in these BiFeO 3 thin films was their existence as both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic material at the same time. The detailed results of electric and magnetic properties will be presented elsewhere. However, in order to prove that both magnetic and electrical hysteresis existed in these, sol-gel deposited thin films the initial results are presented in Figs. 8&9. Fig. 8: Electrical hysteresis curve of BiFeO 3 film
13 Fig. 9: Magnetic hysteresis of BiFeO 3 film CONCLUSION In summary, when the solvent is changed in the sol-gel process, chemical reactions are changed the phases and lattice parameters of thin films are affected by these variations. This leads to changes in structural, dielectric and magnetic properties. Two different solvents, ethylene glycol and acetic acid, in sol-gel route were employed in this work. Polycrystalline single phase BiFeO 3 films have been obtained under as-deposited and annealing conditions for both the solvents. The dielectric values of BFO thin films are quite low as compared to bulk BFO due to the enhanced effect of grain boundaries. Refractive index of the films is in the range of and increased upon annealing. Band gap of the films is of the order of 2.7eV. REFERENCES Ahmed, T., Vorobiev, A. and Gevorgian, S.
