Abstract
- We report the photovoltaic properties of doped ferroelectric [Bi0.9La0.1][Fe0.97Ti0.02Zr0.01]O3 (BLFTZO) thin films. Polycrystalline BLFTZO films were fabricated on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. Al-doped ZnO transparent top electrodes complete the ZnO:Al/BLFTZO/Pt metal-ferroelectric-metal capacitor structures. BLFTZO showed switchable photoresponse in both polarities. The open circuit voltage (VOC) and short circuit current (JSC) were found to be ~0.022 V and ~650 μA/cm², respectively after positive poling, whereas significant difference in VOC ~ 0.018V and JSC ~ 700 μA/cm² was observed after negative poling. The observed switchable photocurrent and photovoltage responses are explained on the basis of polarization flipping in BLFTZO due to the applied poling field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
