    Abstract

    Mn-doped Bi 4Ti 3O 12(B 4T 3) thin films grown at 400 °C on a Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate through pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were analyzed via spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The PLD targets were produced through the conventional solid-state sintering method, and the film samples were annealed at 600 °C. The SE spectra of B 4T 3 films were measured using a rotating analyzer type ellipsometer within the 1.12 to 6.52 eV energy range, with the various incidence angles. The optical properties of the B 4T 3 films with increasing Mn-mol concentration were extracted using a multilayer model for the whole structure and the Tauc-Lorentz (TL) dispersion relation for the B 4T 3 film layer. The analysis results clearly showed that the significant changes in optical properties of B 4T 3 films are caused by thermal annealing procedure and the Mn-mol concentrations. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement was also performed to confirm the results of SE analysis.
