Abstract :
Bismuth ferrite thin films have been prepared via a modified polymerizable complex sol-gel method and deposited on SiO2/Si [100] substrates. The rhombohedral BFO phase was obtained by annealing the thin films on a hot plate at 475°C for 30 minutes. Samples annealed at 550°C for 2 hours developed the secondary phase Bi2Fe4O9 due to loss of bismuth.
