Abstract In this paper we report the leakage current, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the YFeO3 film with hexagonal structure, which was fabricated on Si(111) substrate by a simple sol-gel method. The leakage current test shows good characteristics as the leakage current density is 5.4× 10-6A/cm2 under 5 V. The dominant leakage mechanism is found to be an Ohmic behavior at low electric field and space-charge-limited conduction at high electric field region. The P-E measurements show ferroelectric hysteresis loops with small remnant polarization and coercive field at room temperature. The distinct and switchable domain structures on the nanometer scale are observed by piezoresponse force microscopy, which testifies to the ferroelectricity of the YFeO3 film further.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
