Abstract
The capacitance dispersion in La and Mg co-substituted BiFeO 3 thin film has been studied at different stages of polarization switching. A negative capacitance (NC) behavior is observed in the sample that is fatigued above 10 9 switching cycles. The origin of the NC is investigated through analyzing relaxation processes and charge transport kinetics by admittance spectroscopy. An activation energy of ∼0.6 eV and a zero field mobility μ 0 5.33 ± 0.02 × 10 - 13 m 2 / Vs are thus obtained. A physical mechanism is proposed to explain this behavior. It involves a redistribution of oxygen vacancies, which are trapped at the film/electrode interface during the fatigue process.
