Original abstract
The exploration of novel multiferroic materials with strong coupling between ferroelectric polarization and photovoltaic effects is crucial for next-generation optoelectronic devices. In this study, we characterized highly oriented 0.5Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3-0.5Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 multiferroic thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on SrTiO3 (001) substrates with a SrRuO3 bottom electrode. The films exhibited excellent crystalline quality, with a single perovskite phase and (001) orientation. They displayed good ferroelectric properties (remanent polarization $\sim$17 $μ$C/cm$^2$, PUND; coercive field $\sim$150 kV/cm), alongside weak ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature (remanence 1.30 emu/cm$^3$; coercive field 90 Oe). Photovoltaic measurements demonstrated a robust, polarization-dependent photoresponse under 403 nm monochromatic laser illumination, achieving Jsc values between $\pm$20 $μ$A/cm$^2$. This compelling observation confirms the intrinsic coupling between ferroelectric polarization and photovoltaic effects, highlighting the considerable promise of these single-phase multiferroic thin films for advanced photovoltaic and optoelectronic memory applications.
