Nonvolatile resistive switching in BiFeO3 (BFO) [1] has attracted increasing attention; however, the underlying resistive switching mechanism is still controversial which restricts its application in nonvolatile memory devices. BFO:Ti/BFO bilayer structures with a 540 nm thick BFO layer and different thickness of BFO:Ti layer were grown on Pt/Sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition using the same growth conditions. Circular Au top electrodes were prepared with magnetron sputtering. Au/BFO/Pt single layer structures show a symmetric I-V curve without hysteresis due to the formation of Schottky contacts at both the top and bottom interface. However, Au/BFO/BFO:Ti/Pt bilayer structures exhibit an obvious resistive switching behavior under both voltage polarities. The influence of the thickness of BFO:Ti on the conduction mechanisms in Au/BFO/BFO:Ti/Pt bilayer structures is discussed to reveal similarities and differences between single and bilayer structures.
