Abstract

Bi3.25 La0.75 Ti3 O12 (BLT) ferroelectric thin films (<100 nm) were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by chemical solution methods. The ultraviolet-visible ellipsometric spectra of the BLT thin films were investigated in the photon energy range of 2-4.5 eV. Based on the classical optical functions of the dielectrics and five-phase structure model, the optical constants of the BLT thin films in the transparent and absorption region, the surface roughness, the thicknesses of the BLT thin films and the interface layer between the films and substrates were simultaneously obtained by the fitting. The dispersion of the refractive index in the transparent region fitted well to a single-term Sellmeier relation. A 3.96 ev direct band gap of the BLT thin films was obtained by using Tauc's principle.
