Abstract

We report visible light detection with in-plane BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films grown on pre-patterned inter-digital electrodes. In-plane configured BFO film displayed photocurrents with a 40: 1 photo-to-dark-current ratio and improved photo-sensing ability for >15 000s (4 h) under small bias voltage (42 V). Nearly, sixty percent of the photo-induced charge carriers decay in 1.0s and follow a double-exponential decay model. At 373 K, the effect of light does not significantly increase the dark current, probably due to reduced mobility. Sub-bandgap weak monochromatic light (1 mw/cm(2)) shows one fold increase in photo-charge carriers.
