文摘在LiNO_3/SiO_2/Si基板上制备了Li_(1-x)Bi_(4+x)Ti_4O_(15)系列薄膜(x=0.3、0.4、0.5、0.6),并系统分析了这些薄膜的微观结构以及铁电、介电及漏电等电学特性。研究结果表明,在氮气气氛中以600℃持温30 min制备的单一相薄膜中Li0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15薄膜的结晶效果最好,且在其表面可成长出独立晶粒分布状态;x为0.5时薄膜的剩余极化强度2Pr=53.5μC/cm2、矫顽场2Ec=144.2 k V/cm,此时薄膜的铁电性能相对最佳;该系列薄膜的介电常数介于37~100,介电损失相对偏高,介于0.7~1.0;所有薄膜的漏电流均随外加电压的增加而逐渐增大,其中Li0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15薄膜漏电流最小,外加电压为10 V时其值约为3.88×10-6A。
