摘要: SrBi4-xFexTi4O15 (SBFT-x) thin films (x =0.00, 0.05, 0.08, 0.15) have been synthesized on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrates by sol-gel method. This paper finds that Fe-doping does not change the crystal structure of SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBTi). The coercive filed (Ec) and remnant polarisation (Pr) increase at first, then decrease with the increase of Fe doping content. At a maximum applied field of 229~kV/cm, the 2Pr reaches a maximum value of 91.1~μ C/cm2 at x = 0.05 and the corresponding Ec is 72~kV/cm. The 2Pr increases by about 260% and the Ec decreases by about 6%, respectively. Obviously, the ferroelectric property of SrBi4Ti4O15 is greatly enhanced by Fe doping. The fatigue-endurance characteristic of the SBFT-0.05 is not improved. After 1.1×10^9 read/write cycles at a frequency of 50~kHz, the nonvolatile polarisations (Pnv= P*- PΛ) decreased about 48% of its initial value.
