Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ferroelectric materials, in particular to a perovskite ferroelectric film with a multi-level and multi-domain nano structure based on crystallographic engineering and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The ferroelectric material is a material having a ferroelectric effect, in which minute regions having the same spontaneous polarization direction form ferroelectric domains (domains), and the boundary between adjacent ferroelectric domains is a domain wall. In the absence of an applied electric field, the orientation of the domains is arbitrary and the ferroelectric material does not show macroscopic polarization behavior. If an external electric field is applied to the ferroelectric material, the internal domains thereof may be reoriented, and the reoriented domains tend to have a polarization direction as consistent as possible with the direction of the applied electric field. A crystal grain usually includes a plurality of ferroelectric domains of different orientations, and only in the ferroelectric single crystal, the entire crystal is composed of one domain. Since the material may have composition non-uniformity, impurities, interfaces, external constraint conditions and the like, and the free energy of the whole system reaches the minimum value, domain structures with different orientations appear, and the ferroelectric material with the multi-domain structure attracts the attention of a plurality of scientific researchers because of excellent physical properties and wide application prospect.
The engineered domain refers to a domain configuration which is high in stability and difficult to displace and is formed after an electric field is applied to a crystal in a non-polarization direction. Such engineered domains can generally improve the electromechanical properties of the material, including piezoelectric strain without hysteresis and improved dielectric and piezoelectric coefficients. Furthermore, these improvements are inherent due to the thermodynamic stability of the multi-domain structure and are therefore more desirable for device applications. Notably, engineering domains often requires the ability to pre-form three or four equivalent domain variants in the ferroelectric material. Although the geometry of the film is essentially the same as that of the bulk material, there are few reports in the prior art of exploring engineered domains in films. This may be due in part to the particular manner of nanoscale self-assembly of domain variants under two-dimensional mechanical constraints.
Therefore, it is necessary to perform crystallographic design on the nano-domains of the thin film material to improve the electromechanical properties thereof.
