Abstract
The temperature dependence of dc transport properties of BiFeO3 films was studied. The transport behavior can be described by the Frenkel-Poole emission model even at very low voltage bias. The conductive tip AFM morphology and resistance mapping of the films revealed that current tends to transport along the grain boundaries at low voltage bias and transport across the grains at high voltage. Based on the above experimental results, a simple model was proposed to explain the enhanced Frenkel-Poole emission transport process at low voltage in thin films composed of different regions with high and low dielectric constants.
