摘要:

最近的研究表明室温多铁性BiFeO 3(BFO)薄膜的畴壁具有独特的功能。因此,重要的是要了解在这些薄膜中的域形成的机制。高分辨率的X射线衍射和压电力显微镜,结合第一性原理模拟,使我们能够表征的原子和域结构的BFO薄膜生长在(001)-SrTiO 3的压缩应变下,作为厚度的函数。我们推导出一个孪生模型,描述了实验观察,并解释了为什么71 o畴壁是在这些电影中常见的。这种理解为我们提供了一个新的自由度来控制的结构,因此,性能的BiFeO 3薄膜。

英文摘要:

Recent works have shown that the domain walls of room-temperature multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films can display distinct and promising functionalities. It is thus important to understand the mechanisms underlying domain formation in these films. High-resolution x-ray diffraction and piezo-force microscopy, combined with first-principles simulations, have allowed us to characterize both the atomic and domain structure of BFO films grown under compressive strain on (001)-SrTiO3, as a function of thickness. We derive a twining model that describes the experimental observations and explains why the 71o domain walls are the ones commonly observed in these films. This understanding provides us with a new degree of freedom to control the structure and, thus, the properties of BiFeO3 thin films.
