The dielectric and leakage current behavior of CoFe2O4-BaTiO3 composite films prepared by combining method of sol-gel and electrophoretic deposition

Composite CoFe2O4-BaTiO3 films were prepared by combining method of sol-gel and electrophoretic deposition. CoFe2O4 thick films were prepared by electrophoretic deposition method and then BaTiO3 precursor solution was spin-coated on these thick films to obtain dense structure. X-ray diffraction indicated that the films consisted of both spinel CoFe2O4 and perovskite BaTiO3 phase. Dielectric properties and leakage current conduction of the films were studied. Leakage current characterization of the films exhibits an Ohmic conduction behavior at lower electric field and space charge limited conduction behavior at higher electric field, respectively.
