Dielectric response of polycrystalline Sr1-1.5xBixTiO3 thin films under direct current bias

resumo

The effect of dc electric field E-dc on the dielectric behavior of sol-gel derived Sr1-1.5xBixTiO3 films on Si/SiO2/TiO2/Pt substrates is systematically studied between 10 and 300 K. The rounded peak in the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant epsilon(')(T) of all Sr1-1.5xBixTiO3 films is strongly suppressed under dc bias. The observed dielectric behavior is attributed to the formation of polar dipoles by the introduction of Bi into Sr site. A high tunability (similar to 40%) and communication quality factor (similar to 10 000) under 100 kV/cm make moderately Bi-doped SrTiO3 films a promising material for tunable devices.
